Difficulties

Called into the office this morning and it was even more manic than usual. Candido had just been informed that he has to attend a court case on the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th May. Strange how the timing of the case coincides with the week prior to the election! Looks like canvassing may be more difficult and may need to be undertaken without the Mayor for at least some of the time.

I stressed that we needed to be able to let the people get some answers regarding the PGOU and no matter how difficult it was we need to make that option available. I said that, if it was not going to be feasible to get sufficient time for me to be trained, then we needed a meeting. Candido said he would make arrangements for the Architect and councillors responsible to attend a meeting at a date convenient to them all but as soon as he could arrange it. They would then be able to take questions.

Just to give another example of the unfair treatment which P.A. has to attend with is exemplified by our meeting dates. It is generally accepted that whichever party has the most seats on the Council gets first choice on the dates for their meetings. We had asked for the 20th May and guess what PSOE have been allocated that date!

There is a change to Guardia Civil operations in the area. Whereas at the moment out of hours calls are dealt with by G.C. from Huercal Overa it is now going to be officers from Albanchez, and Albox who will attend. Not a good idea for promptness! The reason I found this out is that two officers were in the Town Hall obtaining street maps of the area for their information.

There are major problems with the WiFi. There are 2 technical guys working on it for the past couple of days. They think some illegal antennae may be interfering with the signal and they are trying to track that down and fix the problem.
