Hanne Saladin
It is with sadness I have today to report the death of one of our residents, Hanne Saladin.
Hanne, a Swiss German, has lived on the urbanisation for many years and served as president about seven years ago.
She died in Torrevieja Hospital having been taken there by ambulance earlier this week.

Partial reopening of street markets
I have learned that our local Saturday market is to partially re-open this coming Saturday, May 16th, but there will only be 10 stalls operating, selling food only. We also publish the list of other markets in the area which operate on different days of the week and this information would be useful to keep, to use when we are out of lock down and we can travel more freely again.
As from this Monday, May 11th, restaurants and bars will be permitted to re-open but to serve only in outside terraces and provided they can safely operate observing the 2 metre distance rule.
I am pleased to report that our local area is one which has experienced far fewer cases and deaths from coronavirus than other parts of Spain – but only by observing the rules and keeping a safe distance from eachother can this be maintained. It’s important for us to always remember that the virus is still present in Spain.

Debby Penny
It is with much sadness I have to give owners the news that today I have learned that Debby Penny, who lived with her father, Terry, at casa 1750, has died.
Debbie was aged 54 and has two adult children both in the UK. She was also a grandmother.
I want to stress that Debbie did not die as a result of the coronavirus, she had multiple health problems and was taken ill at her home earlier this week and was taken to hospital by ambulance.
Because of the dreadful time we are all living through, Debbie’s family will not be able to attend any funeral, and only Terry will be able to attend – although we will make a request for him to be helped and supported by us at this sad time.
Tony Mayes, immediate past president.

Can you help trace a beneficiary ?
I am seeking the help of anyone who has lived on our urbanisation for many years and who may have known the owner of house number 1773, which is almost opposite the Chinese restaurant.
The name we have on record is Anton A de Tollenaere and I believe he was Belgian and died between 18 months and 2 years ago.
The problem we have is that we know of no next of kin and, as far as we know, no-one has visited the house in the many months since his death.
During this time we have had to have the patio cleared of dead or dying plants, and grass and weeds growing between tiles, the cost of this has been placed as a debt on the property which is now large and mounting.
This property is in urgent need of attention and, in addition, a car is abandoned outside.
The probability is the car is uninsured and will have no ITV and probably SUMA has not been paid.
The reason for writing this is to ask any owner who may have knowledge of Mr Torrenaere’s family, next of kin, friend, in fact anyone who may help to trace a beneficiary, to let our administrator or me know.
The house is in a prominent position and I don’t want to see this property deteriorate any further and the car is looking the worse for wear, with a flat tyre and I am receiving complaints.
