The Ecologist Association Save La Tejita demands to Coasts and the Canary Islands Agency for the Protection of the Natural Environment to investigate the replacement of the fence of the site where a hotel is being built near La Tejita beach, because “there was no express authorization (that was shown to us) from Coasts that would allow work in the area of public land maritime domain, where the fence is located ”. It qualifies the action as “allegedly irregular” and warns that it will adopt legal measures in the event that the central and regional administrations are not transparent or respond to the requests of the group.
In a four-page document sent to the Provincial Coastal Service in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and to the Canary Islands Agency for the Protection of the Natural Environment, it alludes to the complaint filed on June 12 before these organizations, due to the existence of 401 meters of “opaque metal fence of about 2.5 meters invading the current public domain maritime-terrestrial and / or transit easement ». It also mentions that on July 31 a section of that fence was dismantled (an action attributed, through social networks, by people opposed to this work being carried out).
The document, which includes images of the events it exposes, reflects that last Tuesday was when the hotel’s construction company replaced the fence “in the same place, thus invading the DPMT and assuming a free transit screen and to the same coastal geomorphological dynamics, which in this section is very active with the presence of flows of beach sand and dunes ».
It also collects the presence of local police (8:26 am on August 3), who came to assure “supporters” of this association that “the demarcation has not yet been carried out,” while three civil guards inform them that the erection of the fence counts with authorization from the Government Sub-delegation, something that was communicated “orally” by the person in charge of the work, says Salvar La Tejita.
At the time of insisting on the alleged infractions in which this action incurs, the association asks the administrations to order the removal of the entire fence for “irregular”.
