Apologies for the delay. I had hoped to get into the Town Hall last Friday or this Monday however, due to the Zurgena Fiesta did not catch anyone. I also had some surprise visitors but am hoping to sit down before the end of the week to catch up with what has been happening.
Update - no one in Thursday and I am away Friday sio it will be next week before I get down to discussions.
This is my blog of anything I consider worth communicating to anyone interested in the happenings in our small Spanish municipality. It is primarily communications of Town Hall issues but also may include other types of information if worthwhile. To contact me please click on this link jiminysimpson@gmail.com

Last Call for Post Boxes
Obviously I was unable to get into the Town Hall on Friday as it was Zurgena fiesta, which I had completely forgotten about.
Secondly primarily fot he residents of Cuesta de los Pinos. I am finalising the numbers for the last caseta of post boxes for this area. Anyone who is interested and has not let me know by Tuesday next, will miss out. The cost will be a one off €33 and the box remains the property of the owner.
In relation to Llanos del Peral Donna Walker who is collating numbers for me is on holiday until the 4th September and if you live in that area please drop Donna an email at donnawalker1@gmail.com to ensure you are on the list.
In relation to Los Menchones, David Mallard is contacting people in his area his email is dmallardspain@googlemail.com

Holiday Over
Just to let you know I have returned from my holiday in the UK. Great fun but very tiring looking after the grandchildren including our newest grandchild, Jamie born on 31st July.
I will try and sit down with Candido and/or Kiko either tomorrow or Monday and catch up on any developments.
For the information of residents of Cuesta de los Pinos and Los Llanos del Peral I will try and finalise the numbers for the Correos' casetas by the end of next week so that the manufacturer can get started making them. It was as well that I waited as I have had quite a few more requests for boxes. If you live in either of these areas and are interested please let me know asap.
Also the programme for the Zurgena Fiesta is on Facebook under 'Ayuntamiento Zurgena'
I have included details for a new production by 'The Luvvies".They are looking for support due to their last production having to be cancelled due to the elections

IBI and 3rd Age
Called into the Town Hall this morning and signed some papers relevant to a celebratory day for the 3rd Age (OAPs). This event is to be held around the 7th October and is a day long event for the elderly. I will make more details known nearer the time but it is an annual event which is hosted in different villages each year and his year it is the turn of Zurgena to host it. I think it must be a good 'do' as the costing for it €7,500!
Just to let you all know that Salvadore is still optimistic that the IBI bills will be going out to all households this September, as mentioned in previous blogs. To remind everyone that the Town Hall will raise these bills for a maximum retrospective period of 4 years or to the date of grant of the licence of 1st Occupation whichever came last. It is impossible to estimate what the annual rate will be as it is affected by so many factors. Just to give people a very rough indication I am budgeting for a total €1,000 for the 4 years.
I have ensured that Paco has all the lists for the street signs and lighting issues but with it being August coming up I don't expect lots to be resolved soon. Due to holidays and the time of year I do not envisage many updates to this blog during the next four weeks. I think the only days the Town Hall will be closed during August are 15th and 31st althoughn Andreas may be on his own quite a lot during this period.

Post Office Service Alterations
I have now been made aware of the fact that the Correos is going to cease holding post for areas which have available post boxes (Apartados) such as Llanos del Peral, Barrio de Chicago, Cucador, El Rocio, Los Menchones, Cuesta de los Pinos and Los Carasoles. This has been an aim of the Correos for some time and we need to ensure that those who wish to have mail delivered have the facility to receive it.
The current plan by the Correos is to cease this service by September or October of 2011.
This does not mean the Zurgena Correos Office will close for business it just means that they plan to offer a more pro-active delivery service. I need to find out more detail on this from Jose Aran the services manager and I will email him today.
The Correos Office will issue a more informative public notice in due course.
In relation to Los Llanos del Peral a circular is going round from the NHW coordinator Mr Walker to try and ensure that all those in that area who wish to have post delivered make their desires known to Mr Walker or me as soon as possible.
Secondly we had a good meeting yesterday regarding the Bowling Green for La Alfoquia. A number of suggestions were made and although the funding for the top surface is some months away we have got a commitment, I believe, to ensure that it is top quality. We have also looked at a few alterations to the layout to try and improve its standard of facilities.
