The groups of the Canarian Coalition, the Popular and Mixed Party -Vox- in the Cabildo of Tenerife will bring a motion to the next plenary session in which they will propose to prepare a master plan for the rehabilitation of the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium that contemplates “all the actions intended to be able to carry out a comprehensive reform” and expand the budget.
Likewise, the motion includes the need to work on actions agreed upon with CD Tenerife “to be able to celebrate the centenary of Heliodoro in the best conditions”, as reported this Tuesday by the CC group in the Cabildo.
In the motion, signed by spokespersons Lope Afonso (PP), José Miguel Ruano (CC) and Ana Salazar (Vox), a “commitment is also proposed to increase the budget allocated in 2024 to the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium as progress is made.” the specifications of the works files”, they add.
“If it is necessary to increase the amount, the budget will be increased through the pertinent credit modifications,” said the three groups, who have indicated that the year of greatest financial disbursement will be 2025, depending on the pace of awarding of the works.
The motion recalls that from the primitive stadium only the old entrance to the Herradura stands is preserved, as a souvenir, and the lower levels of the San Sebastián and Tribune stands.
“In 2009, the project for the conditioning, renovation and improvement of the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium was drawn up, in which, in addition to a series of repair works throughout the complex, important interventions were carried out such as the commissioning of premises in the San Sebastián street, new CD Tenerife offices under the amphitheater stands, as well as new booths for the news media,” the note notes.
It also points out that in 2017 a project was drawn up to repair the hallways, locksmiths, horseshoe stands and amphitheater and whose works were completed in December 2021, as well as the execution of field lighting engineering and electrical installation.
The motion of the three formations also recalls that on July 11, 2023 there were debris falls on the façade, which meant emergency works were carried out that cost 334,823.61 euros.
“In the stadium, constant modernization works must be carried out since there are works that were carried out in the 80s. There is a need for a building such as the Heliodoro and the activity that is carried out to have a conscientious and periodic maintenance program, which is planning and forecasting actions is very important,” CC, PP and Vox have asserted.
They have also insisted that without a project no work can be carried out “and today there is no basic or execution project carried out.”
“There is no Master Plan for the stage of the works to be carried out and we need a roadmap,” they conclude.
