SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 8 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The PP candidate for mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Carlos Tarife, has advocated “opening” the city to the sea with new bathing areas on the coast.
As reported by the party in a statement, this is one of the priorities in its electoral program ahead of the May 28 appointment.
“Santa Cruz has lived with its back to the sea and for us it is essential that the city take advantage of its location and thus open new bathing areas on its coastline in the next four years,” said the applicant.
Tarife has indicated that “from the PP we are clear about what must be done to definitively open Santa Cruz to the sea” and affirms that “we have to start on the coast of Añaza, where thanks to the negotiation that we carried out in the Cabildo de Tenerife in the In recent budgets we have obtained 300,000 euros for the Añaza maritime platform project, thus giving the entire Southwest a dignified outlet to the sea”.
In the same way, he highlighted that “there is also the area around Cabo Llanos, where the work on the treatment plant will end approximately in the summer of 2024, which will make it possible for us to recover the beach of the Maritime Park and, therefore, once again have another sea point in the city”.
Here, he added that “with the development of the ‘Shed’ project at the back of the Palmetum, the presence of chicharreros and visitors in the maritime environment of Santa Cruz will be greatly improved.”
Likewise, he commented that “we would love for the Port Authority to stop playing with the specifications that it puts out to tender and do what the Special Port Plan says and return the Los Llanos dock to the city” and recalled that “it is also time for the Cabildo ends the Cidemat and that the Port Authority concludes the area of the puddles”.
Meanwhile, he indicated that “financing will have to be sought for the beaches of Valleseco and Acapulco, to finish this project together with the renovated area of El Bloque.”
SANTA CRUZ SPA, A DAY CENTER FOR THE SENIORS
“We must ask the Government of the Canary Islands for the complete rehabilitation of a building that is owned by the regional government such as the Santa Cruz Spa and turn it into a day center for the elderly in Anaga, where they have swimming pools and activities in which they can exercise the mobility and training they need at those ages,” he said.
With respect to the Las Teresitas and San Andrés beaches, he pointed out that “we are already beginning the modification of the General Plan to precisely clean up the beach” and stated “at the height of San Andrés, the previous breakwater must be made accessible, which is more easy to access the bathroom, where a new beach has already been formed”.
Finally, Tarife concluded by saying that “we are clear about what we have to do and the responsibility of each one, and that is that the Partido Popular team has very clear ideas, and as the future mayor of Santa Cruz I promise to achieve what we have been trying for 30 years with little success”.
