Welcome Back
welcome back to the forum Angelique and Julie,I have spent the last week reading and even sometimes replying to the non political comments that have been made on this forum,I must admit that although some of them were interesting,nothing got me wound up like our council debates,I tried to go along with a few comments that didnt want heavy political stuff on this forum but have come to the conclusion that local politics is important to everyone on La Marina Urbs,and we shouldnt be gagged in giving our comments.So go for it and see how many people can give their opinions of what we want La Marina Urbs to be
I take it you're referring to me Angelique about the waiter trying to take my bread/ali oli away when I was still eating. Well I thought other people should be warned if they intended to go to this particular, quite expensive restaurant - I see no crime in that. That's what makes a forum successful - a variety of different subjects - NOT just politics all the time !!
If this forum was just about politics, then I would not bother posting anymore, some people have more interesting things in their life!!!! Like great family and friends and enjoying life with them, as well and chilling and enjoying retirement and spreading valuablle information to like minded people and finally enjoying walking dogs for S.A.T.s - we have a wonderful life and do not need politics - but hey hoo each to their own - enjoy your postings.
Sadly Linda our lives are run by politics - its no different here than it is in England. They all look after themselves first.
Eve,
regretably life is so! It is so important that we continue to make our politicians aware of our needs and thoughts.
However, I do also agree with Linda that other matters are important also.
I would like to see The Council take over all the Parques which don't have committees. I was under the impression that if you had street lights then the council was responsible for the other work. I have asked in the solicitors office why I was not told about the parque being private when we bought on it. The lady in the office said she thought it was owned by the council. As it is the biggest Parque on the Urb and there are probably about 10 different nationalities on there and probably 50 per cent are holiday homes, you have to be quite an intelligent person to start up a committee, me I'm to busy. It looks as if we are going to have to pay up and shut up.
Eve,
One of my houses is in a cul-de-sac and the road was a real mess.
The residents decided to discuss this problem with the council whereby it was suggested to us that this problem should be taken up with what was then a newly formed Residents Association.
We met these people at Dos Mas Bar and told them of our difficulties which would be taken up directly by them with Trini Martinez at the next meeting and we would get the results of this meeting in exactly one week.
I might add that in the cul-de-sac we have street lighting which has been maintained by the council.
We were informed that, if you look at the entrance of the cul-de-sac, the pavement is either two colour as are all pavements or solid red. If the pavement is solid red then everything inside the cul-de-sac is the residents responsibility otherwise the council is responsible.
The result was that we had a red pavement and we paid for our road to be re-surfaced.
We did have, about 15 years ago a community for, I believe 85 or so houses, however, it was decided by the council of the time that they would take the residual funds from our community and accept responsibilty for the entire community as it was then.
According to the Residents Association had Trini been re-elected it was her intention to re-instate all of the communities so that the residents would again be responsible thus saving monies for the council.
That is the story as I understood it about two years ago.
Alan,
I make no apology, however, I do agree that local politics, the welfare of us all on La Marina Urb is far more motivating for myself than stories about aolie, bread and waiters or some of the other comments in here that do not excite me at all!
