Agricultural Extension Agency of the village back to normal service.

Extension Agency

The Cabildo proceeded to reinstate the position of administrative assistant that had been vacant three months ago.

After the complaint made by farmers and ranchers from La Aldea, in the face of what they considered a grievance on the part of the Cabildo, by maintaining the service of the Agrarian Extension Agency with a single person, The Cabildo of Gran Canaria has recently reinstated the administrative assistant.

For three months the Agrarian Extension Agency provided its services with the only staff of the Head of the Agency. This not only entailed a considerable workload, but the attention to farmers and ranchers was irreparably affected.

Every time the Chief had to go to the Cabildo offices, The Agency was closed with a sign inviting users to go to the town hall to present documentation in case of “urgency.”.

The unrest of farmers and ranchers was due, above all, because when they came from remote neighborhoods like Tasarte and Tasartico, When they found the offices closed, they lost the trip and their time..

A municipality like La Aldea, in which the primary sector is the fundamental driving force and which is also conditioned by communications and the works that are being carried out on the road, could not afford not to have this service fully operational.

With this reincorporation the Agency has recovered normality of the service, maintaining attention in their offices during business hours 9:00 to 14:00 hours from Monday to Friday.
