Residencial Playa Flamenca X

It has come to my attention that someone may be considering doing works on urbanisation property. I have consulted our administrator on this matter and I wish to make my position totally clear. No-one has any authority to interfere with urbanisation property without permission and certainly when it is in direct conflict with the wishes of the president and works not agreed by the AGM. If a water test is carried out or any other works done without approval then those people will be accountable for paying the bill and the HC will not pay for any unapproved works. I cannot allow a free-for-all to develop which could be to the detriment of our urbanisation as a whole.

I have to report to the urbanisation a difficult situation which has developed.

Four years ago we had walkway repair works carried out on the northern walkway to put an end to occasional leaks which read more

During the past month I have received several complaints from owners concerning disturbances caused by neighbours. This is something that seems to happen regularly and arises because a few people do not take into consideration what effect their actions  have on others. The first problem is people socialising (and no doubt under the effect of alcohol getting louder and louder) on their patios late into the evening and night. Sound travels a great distance at night and can be particularly annoying for people trying to sleep and having their windows open. The other problem is barking dogs. Some dog owners leave their animals unattended for hours or leave them on patios allowing them to bark at anyone or anything passing.  This is obviously particularly annoying to any near neighbour. I have discussed these problems with our administrator who recommends that people should report such incidents directly to police who will attend and deal with the situation – no doubt more effectively than a letter from me as president. The local police in Orihuela Costa can be contacted on 649900304 (mobile) and 966760000 (landline). Apparently a quicker and more effective response is achieved by calling the mobile phone number.

I would like to thank the people who removed the garden rubbish from our urbanisation road hours after it appeared on our website.

It has come to my attention that an owner has abandoned garden rubbish in an urbanisation road. This is against urbanisation rules and taken seriously because it detracts from the area as a whole. This is part of an email I have received from an owner: “Last Saturday whilst the market was on, someone in our urbanisation cut back their palm tree(s) and left the rubbish by the community’s green bin which had been moved onto our roadway whilst the market was on. I can fully understand this for that time. “However the council cleaners moved the bin back into the road and whoever it was that left their garden rubbish has not moved it to the roadside by the bin. The rubbish is still on our roadway and I find this unacceptable that the person responsible has not been back and moved it.”

I have today (Sunday, May 19th) received several complaints from owners about three dogs which were left in a garden in the community, barking almost continuously throughout for six hours. Not only was this extremely annoying for all owners, occurring right through siesta,  it was obviously distressing to the dogs, left in this condition during the hottest period of the day. As a result I have instructed our administrator to send an official warning to the owner in this matter and have also instructed her to warn the owner that if it happens again police will be called. We have strict urbanisation rules governing this anti social behaviour and for the benefit of all residents I am including the relevant rules and the consequences for any owner not obeying them. =&0=&

I have received a complaint from an owner that drivers have parked vehicles close to electricity and water meters making it impossible for people to open them to turn on water supplies or read meters. read more

For several weeks a builder’s skip has been on our urbanisation while work has taken place on two properties. The work was completed before Easter but the skip has not been removed. Sadly these skips, if left for any length of time, attract fly tipping and this skip is no exception. It’s attracted sheets of polystyrene, cardboard and assorted rubbish to be dumped despite the skip being full to the brim. As a result this has been blowing up and down the road leaving a dreadful mess, leading to several complaints.

This week we had our sewerage system inspected, cleaned and fumigated, under our contractual agreement.

At the 2018 AGM it was suggested that I open a discussion on the website concerning rules and accepted norms concerning the control of vehicles on our urbanisation.

There are two main aspects to this. read more

I am pleased to tell owners that the re-grouting of the eastern pool is almost complete. Our maintenance company A.L. Limpiezas y Servicios have done an excellent job and the tiling and steps looks good. There is a small area of steps to retile and the pool will then be refilled. The company has given a five-year guarantee on this work. Once filled work will start on the regrouting of the western pool. It is important that all pool users obey the rules and shower before getting in the pool and every time they re-enter to wash off any sun oils, etc. These can seriously affect the chemical levels in the water and leads to damage to the grouting if not rectified quickly. Work will start soon on the repair work along the western road to fill the gap between the roadway and garage wall. This will include the laying of a conduit from the communications box to entry points within the garage to allow owners to have fibre optics to homes above garages. Finally I have to report disgusting occurrences within our urbanisation over recent weeks. On several Saturdays human excrement has been found complete with soiled toilet paper, close to parked cars and the likely culprit is a market trader – because it always happens on Saturdays. I shall be discussing with our administrator what action can be taken – by making the town hall and any market trader organisation aware of what is happening. It goes without saying we would like to catch the culprit, so those owners who are up and about early on Saturday mornings let us know if you see anything untoward. [metaslider id=”4735″]

There will be a full moon in Torrevieja on Saturday 22nd December. The Tourist office are suggesting the best place to see this incredible event is from the Juan Aparicio promenade at 7pm.

Today I joined a group of local urbanisation presidents in Orihuela Costa who were invited to a meeting by a new organisation called Agrupacion Electoral which is a citizens’ movement aimed at getting local councillors onto Orihuela Council at the elections in May. The following is a news story I have sent to the press. You will see how important it is now to get yourselves onto the voters’ list at the Town Hall – because time is running out.
