Tenerife officials assess costs to restart Motor Circuit environmental process

The Cabildo de Tenerife is awaiting legal reports to determine the economic impact of restarting the environmental processing for the future Motor Circuit. This action follows a court ruling that confirmed the expiration of the previous environmental procedure.

Dámaso Arteaga, the Minister of Roads for the Cabildo, stated during a plenary session that the administration intends to act with rigor to comply with all aspects of the judicial sentence. While the previous environmental processing has lapsed, officials noted that the underlying territorial plan remains valid indefinitely, meaning the court ruling does not prevent the construction of the circuit itself.

The project must now undergo a revised environmental review to meet legal requirements. Representatives from the Vox party have called for an updated calendar with realistic objectives, arguing that infrastructure development and environmental protection can coexist through strict adherence to legislation.
