A group of residents of the area, faced with the apathy of the Government Group, brought this situation to the attention of the councilors of the Santa Lucía de Tirajana Neighborhood Association (AV-SLT), who in turn have formally transferred it to the City Council, demanding the adoption of measures, and warning of the responsibilities that could be incurred if action is not taken.

 

Added to the above is the fact that the syringes are abandoned in a transit area with a high concentration of minors, when entering and leaving an educational center that is located a few meters away. Furthermore, the users of the containers near the dumping site are exposed to a serious risk simply by approaching to deposit their urban waste.

 

 

Nobody questions the need to have centers like the one mentioned above to help as many people as need it, but that does not prevent, on the contrary, it forces municipal officials to improve the health conditions of the area, not only through the management of these centers. waste, but also through appropriate awareness-raising actions aimed at those directly responsible for these serious discharges, providing them with other means and places to dispose of them, and informing other users of possible dangers to their health.

 

This situation demonstrates once again the absolute lack of training, and even interest, of the current members of the municipal government group in managing a basic competence such as urban waste management and road cleaning. Well, even at the request of the affected neighbors, there is no interest in solving a problem that they are obliged to address and solve.
