Green Areas
Must agree about the Councils effort on the garden things are greatly improved, especially noticeable is when you drive onto the Urb just past the Petrol Station. I never realised until recently, that it was a park area. Another one that shows up is the one near the market.
I do remember seeing up here that once a person was asking how he applied to get his area done? Did he ever succeed?
Hello Sunshine, nice that someone remembered my request to Mr. Wiszniewski asking him how I can get the green area behind our houses cleaned up, after seeing the Town Hall workers working on other supposedly private green areas and doing a great job too. I was hoping that Mr. Wiszniewski would respond on this forum, to date he has not done so.
Has anyone been to see the Mayor since he started doing a few hours of open house at the satellite town hall.Apparently Jeff has stopped answering queries on this forum,and my visit to have a chat with him,seems to of been pointless.I wonder if the Major was more forthcoming,with his view of what he wants to do or not to do in the UIrbs
Sorry about not replying to your request, but to be honest, I do not remember seeing it. However, albeit a little belated. Come into our office and raise a Solicitud and we will put it into the system to have the job done.
Addition to the above: If a Solicitud is put into the system, the first thing that is investigated is whether or not it is the Council's responsibility. If it is, then the job will be dealt with. If not the applicant will be informed.
Well Don, Jeff has at last seen your request.Hopefully you will go to the council office and raise a Solicitud,and hopefully see that you can get the green area behind you sorted.
It is important that you put on the forum in due course if the work gets done or not,so that the residents can see if Jeff gets things done or just talks about it
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believed private green areas are not the responsibility of the council so I would be most interested to know whose private green area is being cleaned by the council workers, I really hope its not another PIPN candidate is getting preferential treatment! If the council have changed the rules regarding private areas then why can't they help Eve with her drain problem?
Sunshine,
I appreciate that the new councillors were not responsible for the area behind the vet on the way to the garage.
However, who in their right mind would build a park in an unpopulated area denying the vets of what was essentially their parking place?
Now there are cars parked on the garage road, albeit adjacent to the worst and most dangerous corner in the whole of La Marina!
What goes on in these peoples heads?
Jeff,
Why do you continue to use these Spanish terminologies?
Let us face the facts you do not speak Spanish.
You are supposed to be representing the people of La Marina Urb and we speak almost every language other than that which you try to express yourself in?
It is very interesting to see that Jeff is prepared to get your garden cleared up but, I would not hold your breath - when push comes to shove you will probably be told it has not been adopted by the council and to pay for it yourself. If you do manage to get them to do it then I for one will not be impressed because it will seem to me that gardens are more important than people's health. When it came to with our sewerage problem Jeff was quick enough with suggestions of who would do it, but he still thinks me and my husband should pay for it. I don't know where he thinks we are going to get the money from. We pay our suma the same as everyone else so we should be treated the same. I do not expect special favours, but, when it comes to health issues they should take priority. The council is a b..... waste of space. I defended Jeff and I gave him a chance but like most other politicians he buries his head in the sand. It will take a lady like Angelique to stir up these men. Woman do not pussy foot around like them. I would like to add - we have already paid 130 euros to clean the main sewerage pipe. It has tree roots growing in it. Does anyone want some firewood for their wood burning stove, perhaps if I get it cut down they will take me to task because its not my tree.
Have just been down our garage and the b..... sewerage is up again. We either have to suffer the stench or dig into our pockets. Well jeff what would you do if someone has not got any money - let the sewerage run everywhere. I have already approached several people on the Parque about this problem and they don't want to know. I came here to live for a quiet life. - I do not want to spend my retirement dancing up and down to get things done. I have had my say on the forum perhaps It will have to be the press next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perhaps you would like to pay us a visit Jeff and see if you would like to live with the problem? On the PIPN website it states WE DESERVE BETTER. IF THIS IS THE BEST YOU CAN DO - you should resign.
I can't believe your neighbors are not willing to help Eve, surely it's the same drain that leads to their houses also, I bet the wouldn't be so eager to ignore it if the sewerage backed up to their houses and came up through the toilet! Hope you can get it sorted out soon and then you might be able to relax again.
Julie it is a sad fact of life that a large percentage of people are selfish, if it doesn't affect them they don't bother. Never mind I may be able to tell these people to get lost if they have a problem. I have another little Ace up my sleeve but I won't shout about it yet, until I am 100per cent sure of my facts.
Well whatever you have planned I hope all goes well and the problem is resolved once and for all.
The German lady 3 doors away has just given my husband 20 euros towards cleaning out the drains so not everyone is selfish around here.
The first hour is going to cost 90 euros but its anyone,s guess how long it is likely to take. If they do a good job then I will keep their contact details incase anyone else on the forum gets problems. I will also take the details into the town hall because the only contact they have is a Spanish firm and, for people out on holiday or just arriving, it can be difficult. Drains cleared cost 160 euros and they were here 2 3/4 hrs. Arthur 24 hr service on 644 029 200 young man on the phone speaks German, Spanish and English.
It seems when the council wants votes, they own the Parque's, when someone comes into power, they don,t. Whoever thought up this system of having committee,s on Parque,s did not give it much thought. Far better to charge more Suma on the properties and be responsible for all areas. There are too many nationalities and too many holiday homes to make it work. We moved from an apartment to get away from community systems and walked right into this. If there is anyone out there that can speak about 10-12 different languages then they might like to try and start up a residents association for over 200 properties and then we can form a committee to enable us to ask the council to adopt it.
He will probably be told that it belongs to the residents if it is on a Parque. But if you want to put up no parking or no dog fouling, you have to form a committee and then get permission.
