La Oliva addresses the demolition of the mamotreto of Parque Holandés.  Mamotreto translates to "Whacking great thing"

"He has been working as a rats' hatchery for 25 years in Parque Holandés. We vote asks to decree the expiration of the project license to bring down the building. While the owner could still run the project today because the permit was given 'no expiration date'. But if you do not execute it, it could be demolished.

The building was built about 25 years ago. It was destined to be a building of offices for the port of El Jablito, that, although they were unloaded trucks of stone to make the dam, would not end up going forward. Years passed and the mamotreto stayed there, in front of the roundabout entrance to Parque Holandés, as a memorable prelude to the Dunes of Corralejo, which, in the north, appear a few kilometers later to those who circulate on the FTV-1.

Today the ruins have become a nest of filth, debris and dangers for children who go inside to play. The complaints of the residents of Parque Holandés have been repeated for years, but successive municipal governments have never taken any action in the matter. In the next plenary session of the City Council of La Oliva, which is celebrated on March 30, a motion of Vote is discussed and voted on to initiate the file to decree the expiration of the license of the property and, once resolved the procedure, urge The owner to submit a demolition project in one month.

According to the mayor who defends the proposal, the legal services of the Consistory endorse the legal feasibility of it. "If the owner does not demolish, it would demolish the City Hall and then the bill would be passed to the owner," explains Álvaro de Astica.

The last word, the owner. Sources from La Oliva's governing group point out that "the license was given without an expiration date, as was done before" and therefore, the owner can still execute the project today as long as it is in accordance with the permit granted, «For offices and apartments». "It is different that the expiration is declared, but it would have to give a hearing to the company that requested the license, which, at the time, was Puertos La Oliva, to clarify if it is going to execute the project". According to urban legislation, 'licenses generally expire at the end of five years after the first two have passed', that is to say at the age of seven it could be stated that ' Owner, "according to municipal sources. Regardless of the legal aspects, since Votemos ensure that they intend to "send a warning to seafarers", and in April will submit similar proposals on La Miranda and Las Agujas, abandoned developments at the entrance of Corralejo from Great Beaches. However, in this case, according to the local government, "what is being attempted is to reactivate these works and there are interested investors".

Political desidia towards the landscape. Álvaro de Astica, mayor of Votemos, claims that the ruined buildings of the municipality of La Oliva show "the lack of interest in the landscape on the part of all the politicians who have passed through the Town Hall".
