Explanation & Opticians

Firstly I have received quite a few emails questioning why the TH are looking at things such as Bowling Green, street plans, Gymnasium etc when we have such a problem with the roads, sewerage etc. So I feel I need to explain why this is. Firstly there are many different avenues for Finance in this part of Spain for different projects and this is dependant on what the project is.

Secondly, I should explain, to those who may not have read all the previous posts, projects such as the Bowling Green, the resurfacing of Avenida Poetas etc, were approved, following inclusion in manifestos, years ago and submitted to the Diputacion of Almeria for approval and who agreed to fund them. The process then for such projects is out of the hands of the TH and can only be dealt with by the Diputacion who are the responsible authority for issuing the contracts. My experience has been that it takes at least 2 to 3 years for them to issue the contracts and get the projects completed.

Secondly the Bowling Green project is already half completed (the base and surrounding wall is installed) and this project, once complete, should be revenue generating. Which is something we could do with.

Regarding finance we have very little money, which is why we can only look at small projects such as the street plans etc. As an example, the construction companies, who removed the collapsed mountain from Zurgena did so without receiving a cent and will wait until we get the funds to be paid (could take months). This is a process that we cannot have them continually accept. We have submitted almost all our files to help the Diputacion raise IBI bills however, they are so far behind, hardly any got issued at the last round (last October). So no more money coming in from that source yet.

The money required for repairing the roads, sewerage etc from the storms amounts to 6 million euros and we have submitted claims, supported by pictures and other evidence, and we continually press to get this money. Again it is out of the hands of the TH we are waiting for the Diputacion to release the money so that these works can be completed.

I hope this helps then understanding of the difficulties we have.

Lastly and just as a recommendation (something I dont do lightly). My glasses lense fell out the other day and so, whilst shopping in Huercal Overa, I popped into Salas Opticas, near to Mercadona, to ask them to to replace the screw and lense. This they did immediately. I apologised and said I only had notes. She told me there was no charge. I then asked if I could have a new glasses case. She gave me a choice of about 6 I picked one and again she said there would be no charge. Don't think I could have got that in UK. She spoke very good english and I was very impressed.
