Key Points
- Council installing tarpaulins around derelict site perimeter soon to boost safety.

La Massana council is accelerating safety measures at the derelict Arinsal factory site while pressing insurers to clear the rubble, and has indicated it would consider handling the cleanup itself if delays persist.
The site remains in ruins pending action from the insurers, prompting the local authority to prioritise public safety. Cònsol Major Eva Sansa stated that tarpaulins will be installed around the full perimeter in the coming days to reinforce existing signage. She highlighted the area's substantial visual and emotional impact on Arinsal residents and council members alike, adding to the urgency for a prompt resolution.
The matter arose at this week's Governing Board meeting, where members decided to urge insurers toward a quick debris removal. Sansa confirmed the council's readiness to take on the work directly should the situation drag on.
With the site cleared and absent any rebuilding, the council intends to convert it into public space for Arinsal's benefit—potentially a square or parking area. Local officials underscored residents' frustration with the longstanding eyesore and the authority's determination to address it.
