The Government of Granadilla de Abona – made up of PSOE and PP – is not willing to let the municipality’s taxi sector, as well as that of San Miguel de Abona, pay the price for what Mayor Jennifer Miranda considers “the daily queues that the citizens of the South suffer”, for which it approved a motion in which it shows its support for the action protocol presented by the municipality’s taxi association and rejects the declaration of the South airport as a sensitive area.
The motion became institutional when it finally had the support of the other political forces, including CC, which in this matter has not supported the president of the Tenerife Cabildo, Rosa Dávila, a supporter of change.
The protocol that has the support of the mayor, presented to the City Council by the Autotaxis Association of Granadilla de Abona, whose main directors attended the plenary session in person, establishes that, in the event that there are queues that exceed 20 minutes of waiting At the airport, the Granadilla and San Miguel units that are not on duty come into service.
And, if these were not enough, those from other municipalities, such as Arona or Adeje, could pick up passengers when they were going to drop off others.
Official sources reminded this newspaper yesterday that “the objective of the government group is that the proposal to declare a sensitive area is not approved,” while recalling that the Transportation Law underwent a modification that “obliges the councils to prepare a socioeconomic study before declaring a port or airport as a sensitive area. That is something that, therefore, cannot be done from today to tomorrow. Hence the support for this action protocol, which is important for the municipality and for the taxi sector.”
