Was able to have an hour with Candido regarding outstanding bits and bobs and summary of those discussed is as below,
1. The Bowling Green in La Alfoquia. It is hope that the final phase of the work for this will be commenced in the next week or two.
2. We (Zurgena Town Hall) are to host, on behalf of the whole of the Almanzora valley, a Feria for Tourism on the 15th and 16th of this month. The Town Hall workers are doing a lot of extra work in preparedness for this event which is expected to be quite a big one. There are a number of events planned for the days in the villages and as and when any further details are revealed I will post on here. There will be stalls for tourism, gastronomy, tourist accomodations, Craft stalls, tourist activities etc. The Fair will follow the following programme, Saturday 15th from 0900 until 1100 tables of the work of tourism, 1200 inauguration of the Feria, 1200 until 2000 Feria of tourism. The same timetable for Sunday the 16th but in addition to this there will be english guided tours of the village at 1700 each day. I think it will be an very interesting and diverting fair.
3. We are preparing the next area street plan which will be for the village of Los Llanos del Peral. Luis the TH architect and I will prepare the plan and see if we can get a manufacturer who can give us a better price than the last one, which was expensive but given how even that was damaged by the recent winds maybe we will have to pay th bigger price to get a good enough product.
4. The TH will repair the existing street plan for Cucador Norte this week.
5. We will have to order a new parabolic mirror as some basxxx nicked the one which blew down opposite Calle Dinamarca on Avenida Europa last weekend. Guess the thief needed it as a shaving mirror!
6. Candido is in discussions about the water supply or those people who contacted me, regarding their problems. He hopes to have answers by the end of next week which I will communicate directly to the individuals.
7. The trees in Calle Amapola. I am aware that Sue Sullivan has been complaining on behalf of the residents of this street about the THs lack of attention to the trees in Calle Amapola but it is not an easy problem. Candido told me that due to some incorrect pruning they had to get a tree expert in to see how to save the shape of the trees. He advised that we should give them all intensive treatment with fertiliser and see how they responded before we try and prune them anymore to ensure we do not kill them. As soon as we can after the feria above and when the new shoots grow on the trees we will get the expert back to advise on what we can do.
8. Please, and this is the last call, if your street does not have a street sign let me know. We are going to make one last order for these and I am compiling the list for the streets where expats live. So if you do not have one or feel you need one let me know asap.
Just for your information members of Candidos' family have now taken over the bar on the corner of the street next to bar Trabalon.
Lastly and just to make you realise that it is not just expats who get traffic fines Andreas picked up a €200 fine, from the Guardia Civil traffico, for not signalling when overtaking a car on the A92! Poor lad, he was attending hospital for a check up on his eye operation.
