Gran Canaria's Cabildo has invested €110,000 in a system of 38 cameras at the El Goro Business Park in Telde. The images will be managed by the Local Police.
The El Goro Business Park in Telde now has a comprehensive surveillance system funded by Gran Canaria's Cabildo. The investment amounts to €110,000 and has allowed for the installation of 38 cameras strategically distributed throughout the area.
The island's councillor for Economic Development, Minerva Alonso, visited the facilities alongside the president of GOROECO, Ángel Félix Medina, to check the operation of the equipment. The network is managed by the Local Police of Telde.
Cameras with number plate recognition and speed control
The new equipment not only records general surveillance images. It incorporates automatic number plate recognition and pedagogical speed control, which allows for monitoring internal traffic and deterring violations.
The cameras are of high resolution and are located at key points in the industrial estate. Additionally, the system allows for remote viewing and stores recordings for later consultation. All of this aims to protect the businesses, workers, users, and goods that transit through the area daily.
According to sources from the Cabildo, this action will also improve coordination between the park's managers and municipal services in case of any incidents.
Over €4.2 million in comprehensive improvements
The installation of the cameras is part of a broader modernization plan. In recent years, the Cabildo has allocated over €4.2 million to repave roads, improve the stormwater drainage network, and renew fire hydrants.
Improvements have also been made to sidewalks and signage in the area. These investments aim to correct accumulated deficiencies and optimize the conditions of a key industrial zone for the economy of Telde and all of Gran Canaria.
The surveillance system is designed to accommodate future expansions and incorporate smart services, in line with the digitalization of the park.
Looking ahead, the continuity of improvements depends on the approval of the Urban Environment Action Programme (PAMU), a planning instrument whose processing is still pending at the Telde City Council. Meanwhile, the entrepreneurs of Goro can breathe a little easier: 38 electronic eyes are watching over their safety.
