I have just been informed, of the saddest news, that one of our neighbours, a well known and loved local lady died  last night after a short illness. I

Cherry Haydon was an active member of our community, she supported myself and the members of the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme amongst other activities. John gave me permission to make the news public.

Large Items of Rubbish

It seems I need to explain once more the rules regarding. the disposal of rubbish at the basuras.

All general household waste should be placed in the basuras. If the Basura is full then it should be taken to the next nearest basura. No general rubbish should be put by side of the Basura.

Large items which cannot go into the Basura eg mattresses, furniture etc are collected twice a month from the Basura by the Consorcio. This is an excellent service compared to the lack of such a facility in the UK BUT it does lead to confusion. Please follow the above rules. Garden waste etc must be taken to a recycling point the nearest being the one in Arboleas.

Please keep our areas tidy and be considerate

Padron Confirmations

Can the below listed persons call into the Town Hall of Zurgena as soon as they are able to confirm they should still be on the Padron. I have tried the numbers we have for them but failed so far.
Vanessa and Michael HURST,
Richard F CHAMBERS
Andrew DOORBAR
Hans MONTEYNE
Peter MOULL
Martine VANSTEENHUYSE
Margaret ANNELIESE
Barbara and John BLACKMORE
Harry and Teresa GREEN
Elaine IRVINE

I have left telephone messages for others.
Obviously some may be stranded in the UK in which case they may drop off but iff they call in to the Town Hall when next in Zurgena they can confirm it then.
