The Port Authority of Santa Cruz de Tenerife will begin today the conditioning works of the Valleseco coastline, in the area known as Acapulco-El Bloque, works that seek to improve accessibility to the area, ordering and increasing the tasks of cleaning, also improving the existing equipment with accessories such as litter bins, showers and toilets. This work is added to the one already being carried out to condition the Valleseco beach.
With an award cost of 402,611 euros and an execution period of four months, the first works will consist of clearing the plot, earthworks, manufacturing slabs for the solarium and repairing the pier edge.
And it is that this space is used as a bathing area for residents and young people of the metropolitan area and its use makes evident the need to condition it. More specifically, in Acapulco an area of 90 linear meters and 1,200 square meters will be intervened, while in El Bloque the same will be done in 130 linear meters and 4,000 square meters.
Inter-administrative agreement
In this regard, the president of Ports of Tenerife, Carlos González, and the mayor of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council, José Manuel Bermúdez, signed last year the inter-administrative agreement that includes the bases for the execution of these works that are already beginning. The action to be carried out is included in the refurbishment project contracted by Puertos de Tenerife to Giur SL Civil Engineering and Urban Planning Studio, for a value of 14,500 euros, with the Port Authority also being responsible for contracting the works and its project management. .
For its part, the Santa Cruz City Council will be the one to pay the cost of the works and project management. Once the works have been completed, it will also be the competent administration for its maintenance and opening to public use The agreement also includes the creation of a Mixed Monitoring Commission, made up of two members of each participating administration, one of them with political or managerial responsibility , which will meet for this purpose as many times as it deems convenient.
The mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez, defended yesterday that “the work that begins tomorrow, which is long-awaited news, seeks to improve accessibility to the area, order and increase cleaning tasks, as well as improve the equipment existing with accessories such as litter bins, showers and toilets”.
Regarding the duration of these works, Bermúdez hopes that “they will not be delayed and that the Port takes into account the summer period for carrying out the work, generating the least possible inconvenience to bathers.”
The municipal councilor concluded by indicating that “they are going to dignify one of the most traditional bathing areas of the city and that is part of the recovery of the capital’s coastline for use by citizens.”
