In mid‑July 2026, the Popular Party group on Cuenca City Council pressed Mayor Darío Dolz to launch an immediate program to clear dry vegetation from urban areas and public spaces, warning that dense foliage near residences heightens wildfire risk after a fire broke out on ADIF land.

A week later, the council unanimously adopted a motion demanding swift upgrades to road markings on the N‑420 approach to the Fernando Zóbel high‑speed rail station and improvements to pedestrian pathways and vegetation in Parque del Huécar. Councillor Bea Jiménez highlighted deteriorated signage and unsafe footpaths, calling for a clear timetable and accountability, while the ruling administration cited ongoing maintenance contracts.

Together, the snapshots illustrate a continued push by opposition councilors for the municipal government to prioritize fire prevention, road safety, and park maintenance in Cuenca.
