Earlier today our Community Administrator (AGM) sent an email to all homeowners about the vehicle gate which will be installed next week. It appears not everybody has received this email so here is the message again :
“Dear owners:
We inform you that next Tuesday, 21 and Wednesday 22 of June, access to the community will be closed along the path shared with the Chinese restaurant (Playa Flamenca V) in order to install the new vehicle gate.
During those days, you will be able to access the community through the ravine.
Once the doors are installed, you will be able to purchase a keyfob from our office or from the president, Jocelyn Whitehouse. Each fob will cost €40.”

Potential opening of pools
Hello All
Everyone should have received an email from AGM the Administrators regarding the potential opening of the pools in the community. If you have not then please email info@agmadministradores.com or telephone 966730900
Can you please make sure you send in your preferred choice by 12 June by email or by telephone.
It is the Government that is imposing the rules on the pools and not the community and they have to be adhered to for everyone’s safety. Fines for not obeying the government can be from 600 euros upwards.
The cost of maintaining the pools has been quoted at approximately 12 euros per hour plus IVA. The Administrators have received several quotes for the work. However we can not justify paying all of this money out of the community funds when other maintenance work will be need to be carried out.
The only alternative would be to increase the community fees at the AGM or to ask residents to pay a contribution to the costs. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
We don’t know at the moment what costs will apply for the month of September.
The choice is yours so please use your vote wisely.
Stay safe
Possible problem with rats
Hello everyone
I hope you are all well and safe.
Unfortunately it has been reported to me by one our residents that they have a problem with a rat in their garden area.
The resident has also seen the rats on the roadway and a feral cat has caught a rat in the neighbours garden.
The resident has called in a pest control company And they are dealing with the problem.
The Pest Control Company do not expect that it came from the open ground opposite our urbanisation as it has been months since this was disturbed and they found no trace coming from there.
The Company believe that the problem is due to the lack of human activity lately which has allowed that rats to have more freedom and become extremely active at present.
The Company advised that the number one cause of rats in homes that have pets as food and water is readily available and is sometimes left outside.
Therefore can I please ask everyone to be extra vigilant and please do not leave food or water outside your property and be mindful of leaving outside doors open at this time.
If the problem persists we may have to use the services of a Pest Control Company however I am mindful that residents do have pets.
Can I please ask all residents to inform me of any problems that they may have with vermin.
Airforce spraying starts tonight
We have heard that the Spanish Air Force is to carry out anti virus sprays throughout the night.
It starts at 11pm. Please keep all windows closed and all pets should be kept in.
Bench restoration complete
The remembrance bench at the eastern pool has now been restored and is back in place. Woodwork which had become rotten has been replaced and the bench has been repainted. This has saved the community around €200 compared with the cost of replacement and delivery. The work has been done by Norman Brunt and Eileen and Tony Mayes.
The bench has another memorial plaque in memory of Doreen Morley who died last year.
Hedge removal from Western pool
Hello Everyone
Finally the removal of the hedge around the Western Pool has now been completed.
I would sincerely like to thank Kay, Manuel, Marion, Ron, Barry, Cath, Sylvia, Dave and Augusto for all their very hard work over the last few weeks to enable us to accomplish this.
The fence surrounding the pool is in remarkably good condition considering it has been covered by an ivy hedge for the past 20 years.

Barking Dogs on our Urbanisation
Happy New Year to everyone.
Sadly I have to report further complaints about barking dogs and dogs allowed to run loose on our urbanisation.
Some Owners are leaving their dogs outside and they bark at everyone and everything that passes by. This constant dog barking is causing annoyance and upset to their neighbours.
Our administrator advises that if this continues to go on then owners should telephone our local police who we are told will make a prompt visit and if justified will take appropriate action with the dog owner(s) concerned.
Thank you
New memorial bench
At the AGM it was proposed that we purchase a new memorial bench for the Eastern pool and a suggestion was subsequently made to buy this one for €115. I am pleased to report that an
New memorial seat for Eastern Pool
The memorial seat in the eastern pool is in need of replacing. it was provided for the community many years ago in memory of the wife of an owner. He has requested that his plaque is placed on a new seat and we have another owner who would wish a plaque he is buying to be placed there in memory of his wife.
The seat we are considering buying costs about €115 (delivery extra). If anyone has any alternative options please let us know, similarly if anyone has an objection, let us know. If we have a favourable response we will go ahead with the purchase in the next 14 days.
