<p>The new accessible facility will include soft-surface courts for beach volleyball, beach football and beach handball, alongside locker rooms, an exercise area, shaded spaces, a kiosk, terrace, perimeter fencing and lighting.</p>



<p>The municipal project has a budget of 1.3 million euros and is being co-financed by Yaiza Ayuntamiento and the Lanzarote Cabildo.</p>



<p>Ángel Lago, Yaiza’s Councilor for Sports and Public Works, said the project also includes lighting for both the new beach sports area and the first phase of the sports centre, which has already been completed.</p>



<p>“The construction plan calls for lighting the new area designated for beach sports, as well as lighting the first phase, which has already been completed. In Yaiza, we are promoting the construction and development of spaces for sports and family gatherings, which also enhance the beauty of their surroundings.”</p>



<p>The works form part of wider plans for sports facilities in Playa Blanca.</p>



<p>Yaiza is also putting out to bid improvement and new construction work for the Playa Blanca football field, with an estimated budget of 2.2 million euros.</p>



<p>The project includes new bleachers, locker rooms, a cafeteria, support facilities and lighting.</p><p>The post <a href="https://gazettelife.com/news/yaiza-builds-new-beach-sports-courts-at-playa-blanca-sports-centre/">Yaiza builds new beach sports courts at Playa Blanca sports centre</a> first appeared on <a href="https://gazettelife.com">Gazette Life</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>The road reopened in both directions on Wednesday afternoon.</p>



<p>The works included reinforcing the roadbed, widening the roadway, resurfacing, and constructing a central median and cycle lane. The project was funded from the Yaiza municipal budget.</p>



<p>The mayor said the contractor must now move immediately to the second phase of the project.</p>



<p>“The contractor must immediately proceed with the second phase of the project, which involves installing streetlights on the newly built median and opening the bike lane that we can already see on one side of this road. All these measures are included in this same budget.”</p>



<p>Further works are continuing on Avenida de Femés, while the same contractor, Hermanos Tavío Santana, is also carrying out the comprehensive renovation of Avenida Papagayo, the main thoroughfare through Playa Blanca.</p>



<p>Yaiza Ayuntamiento is investing a further 2.6 million euros in the Avenida Papagayo project.</p>



<p>Noda and Lago visited the section covered by the second phase of the project on Wednesday, where they inspected the replacement of pavements and the removal of barriers.</p>



<p>“We have asked the company to work quickly to finish the sidewalk edges and continue paving all the way to the Ciudad Jardín roundabout. Regarding the first phase, which has already been completed, we can say that residents and businesses are satisfied with the addition of 65 new free parking spaces,” said Óscar Noda.</p>



<p>The mayor also apologised for any inconvenience caused by the various projects currently being carried out in Playa Blanca.</p><p>The post <a href="https://gazettelife.com/news/playa-blancas-femes-entrance-reopens-to-traffic-after-e1-3m-road-upgrade/">Playa Blanca’s Femés entrance reopens to traffic after €1.3m road upgrade</a> first appeared on <a href="https://gazettelife.com">Gazette Life</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>The first project relates to the construction of 136 homes in the Montaña Roja area, which has not started yet. Noda claims that plans are complete, the investment is around €34 million, and there are already 400 people in the municipality registered as applicants for subsidized rental housing: “What&#8217;s missing is for the Canary Islands Government to put the project out to tender and carry it out. We can&#8217;t continue turning a social emergency into a permanent promise,” Noda said.</p>



<p>The second project is the allocation of 42 homes which have already been completed in the Los Ajaches complex. These were transferred to the Canarian Housing institute earlier this year on the understanding that keys would be delivered before summer. However, this has not yet occurred.</p>



<p>Noda commented “It is unacceptable that there are finished, empty public housing units while hundreds of people wait. Bureaucracy cannot continue to keep the doors closed to 42 families.”</p><p>The post <a href="https://gazettelife.com/news/yaiza-mayor-calls-for-action-on-social-housing-projects/">Yaiza Mayor calls for action on social housing projects</a> first appeared on <a href="https://gazettelife.com">Gazette Life</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Yaiza Ayuntamiento continued its cleanup and landscaping work in Playa Blanca last week, removing weeds along the road between Avenida A Femes and Avenida de Papagayo.</p>



<p>At the same time, a separate crew cleared weeds from around the Rubicón Shopping Centre in Marina Rubicón.</p>



<p>Yaiza Mayor Oscar Noda said: “We are making progress in various parts of the town to care for our public spaces and improve their appearance for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike.”</p>



<p>The work forms part of the council&#8217;s ongoing maintenance programme to improve the appearance of public spaces across Playa Blanca.</p><p>The post <a href="https://gazettelife.com/news/yaiza-removes-weeds-from-roads-and-public-spaces-in-playa-blanca/">Yaiza removes weeds from roads and public spaces in Playa Blanca</a> first appeared on <a href="https://gazettelife.com">Gazette Life</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>A man has been arrested in Lanzarote after allegedly carrying out a series of thefts at hotels in Playa Blanca before attempting to evade detection by travelling on public buses.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p><strong>A man has been arrested in Lanzarote after allegedly carrying out a series of thefts at hotels in Playa Blanca before attempting to evade detection by travelling on public buses.</strong></p></blockquote>


<div  class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-builder-el-0  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  avia-align-center '  itemprop="image" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><div class='avia-image-overlay-wrap'><img class='avia_image' src='https://gazettelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/arrested-thefts.jpg' alt='' title='arrested-thefts' height="630" width="1200"  itemprop="thumbnailUrl"  /></div></div></div>



<p>The arrest was made on 4 August following an investigation by officers from the Yaiza police station into a surge in thefts reported across the municipality. The investigation began after four thefts were reported within a 24-hour period during the second week of July.</p>



<p>The breakthrough came when one of the victims used the geolocation function on a stolen mobile phone, which indicated that the device was located at a bus stop in Playa Blanca. Officers responded to the location, where they identified several individuals, including the suspect.</p>



<p>During a search, officers recovered the stolen phone from the man&#8217;s backpack. They also found additional items that matched property reported stolen in other incidents earlier that day.</p>



<p>The discovery led investigators to expand their enquiries. CCTV footage from the affected areas allegedly placed the suspect at the locations where the thefts occurred, carrying the same backpack later seized by officers.</p>



<p>According to the investigation, the suspect is believed to have targeted hotel rooms in several resort complexes, entering while guests were away after first checking that the rooms were unoccupied.</p>



<p>Investigators also concluded that he regularly used public transport to travel between locations, a method they believe was intended to make it more difficult for police to track his movements and identify him.</p>



<p>The man has since appeared before the relevant judicial authority along with the evidence gathered during the investigation.</p>



<p>The Guardia Civil said the operation forms part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen security in Lanzarote&#8217;s tourism sector, helping to ensure that visitors can enjoy the island safely while protecting both their personal belongings and their peace of mind.</p><p>The post <a href="https://gazettelife.com/news/man-arrested-after-series-of-hotel-thefts-in-playa-blanca/">Man Arrested After Series of Hotel Thefts in Playa Blanca</a> first appeared on <a href="https://gazettelife.com">Gazette Life</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
