 Daily news from the Canaries and the islands' biggest English language newspaper on-line Decentralisation Cabildo in the South On Wednesday 27 January, the Tenerife Cabildo president, Ricardo Melchior, paid his first visit to the offices of the Cabildo’s Special Territorial Delegation for South Tenerife.  This office was set up with the same aim as its northern counterpart – to make the services of the Island Government more easily accessible to the population as part of a de-centralisation strategy and to try to develop sectors which are not considered primary. The characteristics of the area (territorial extension, distance from centres of strategic decision making, diversity of economic activity in the different municipalities in the region, etc.) mean that a policy of planned activities needs to be carried out to guarantee and improve the quality of life and support economic activity in this part of the island. In this way, through its office in South Tenerife, the Cabildo has opted for the drawing up of a Strategic Plan for the South. In effect this will see a two pronged strategy, whereby the Island authority will have a strategy for action to be implemented by the South office as well as carrying out planned action to enable the south of Tenerife to diversify its economic model and boost other sectors which have great potential such as farming and industry. For the lifetime of this legislature, the office in South Tenerife has planned a series within the framework of the Competitivity Plan, Training & Education Plan, Courses, Financial Aid & Subsidies and political decentralisation.
