The City Council and the Cabildo of La Gomera maintain emergency works linked to access, supply and stability of roads and infrastructures.
The Vallehermoso City Council continues to develop, in cooperation with the Island Council of La Gomera, emergency actions aimed at replacing roads, accesses, infrastructure and services affected by the damage caused by Storm Therese in different areas of the municipality.
Among those already declared of emergency are the works to replace access to the centers of Erque and Erquito, as well as different interventions linked to the recovery of tracks and accesses to neighborhoods, agricultural areas and areas of access to drinking water tanks. To these is now added the emergency declaration of the security measures for access to the Lomito de Macayo, whose execution will begin in the near future with the aim of improving stability and guaranteeing safety conditions in this section.
Emiliano Coello, mayor of Vallehermoso, pointed out that “coordinated work continues between administrations to address the incidents caused by the storm and advance the recovery of essential infrastructure for the residents of the municipality.”
He added that "many of these actions are priorities because they directly affect access, water supply and communications of different population centers, which is why it is essential to maintain a direct and planned response."
The planned interventions also include replacement works linked to the supply of drinking water and the improvement of affected tanks, in addition to the emergency interventions that the Island Council is currently carrying out in the section between Vegueta and Vallehermoso Beach, aimed at reinforcing the safety and stability of the road.
Added to this are the future measures planned in Morera and in the Arguamul Guillama section, which already have a drafted project, as well as the stabilization of the slope and improvement of safety in the area of the entrance park to the center of Vallehermoso, an intervention that already has a budget allocation.
The set of works programmed and in execution represents an investment of more than 9.5 million euros for the municipality of Vallehermoso, within the framework of institutional cooperation and the measures transferred to the central government to finance the damage caused by Storm Therese.
