La Laguna is tackling neglected plots: owners are threatened with fines.
In La Laguna, the city council has undertaken the cleaning of abandoned plots to prevent fires and the proliferation of pests, warning owners of fines for non-compliance with landscaping regulations.
In La Laguna, the city council has taken on neglected plots of land. It is said that there is a lot of garbage and dry grass there, which can lead to fires or the reproduction of pests.
Therefore, the local authorities, through the environmental department, have begun to more actively inspect such places and clean them up if the owners do not respond.
In June and July alone, the owners of almost 50 plots received letters demanding that everything be put in order. They say that there is a law on land and rules of improvement that must be followed. If not, communal workers will clean up, and the bill will be sent to the owner.
Local environmental advisor Domingo Galván says that neglected areas are not only unsightly, but also dangerous. Diseases can start there and a fire can occur. Therefore, the authorities must take care of people's safety and force the owners of the plots to follow the rules.
He also added that the city council wants all areas of La Laguna to be clean and tidy. And that not only communal workers clean up, but also carry out disinfection to prevent rats and insects.
The city council reminds that every owner of a plot of land must fence it, clean it and prevent garbage. If this is not done, you will have to pay a fine and reimburse the costs of cleaning.
In general, the authorities of La Laguna want to make the city safer, healthier and more environmentally friendly for all residents.
