Dear All,
Derek Brewis, Laura and myself met with Jose Ramon, of Pentagono, yesterday morning for a progress report, the results of which are:
- As suspected, there appears to be a deliberate attempt to delay the decision within the council. Whilst the identity of the culprit is almost certainly known it would be virtually impossible to prove intent at this stage.
- In fact, this delaying tactic is a good sign in that if the decision were likely to be made against us then it would already have been made. The delay is, in effect, just the last attempt to get as much money in as possible before the Entity is handed over to us.
- A formal letter was prepared, which will be lodged with the Town Hall tomorrow, complaining about the delay, the so called ‘community charges’ and the demands for payment for Water & Electricity (for those residents not on direct supply) being requested by Antonio and the threats of legal action being made for non payment.
- The letter further advised that this situation cannot be allowed to drag on and that, failing a decision within the next 14 days, the owners of properties on El Trampolin will demonstrate en mass outside the Town Hall offices in order to bring this matter to the attention of the public and the press.
- The identity of the “Administrators” ( AF Grumediter) shown on the letter, delivered by El Trampolin, demanding payment of the ´Community Fees´ was established to be of a company that is no longer trading. Jose Ramon is, in fact, considering taking legal action in this respect. He made it clear that these demands have no legal standing and should be ignored by everyone. In short: DO NOT PAY!
- With the likelihood of the Entity becoming an active force in the near future there is now a pressing need for the articles of the entity (36 pages of legal Spanish) to be translated into English. We have had a number of offers to arrange translation in the past but, sadly none have actually materialised. You will recall that previous ‘quotations’ have ranged from 2,000 to 20,000 euros! We now believe that we can get this done professionally for around 400 euros.
- To enable this translation (and of other necessary legal documents) to take place we have finally reached the point where we need to ask you to provide us with some funding – up until now the committee members have been paying any costs incurred. Rather than ask for the 100 euros originally discussed, when the owners first met last November, a payment of only10 euros per house should be sufficient for now.
- This payment should be made, as soon as possible, to Derek (No.29) who will issue you with a receipt. For non resident owners we would ask that you arrange for a resident friend / neighbour to pay on your behalf if possible or, if not, then via our UK committee members who can then transfer a lump sum to Derek. These committee members are: Gary Cornish – jogary@ntworld.com and Trish Wilkes – trish.wilks@zen.co.uk
- A further meeting of the committee is planned to take place at the offices of Jose Ramon at 12.00 on Thursday 13th August after we have had a chance to read the translated document.
Regards
Paul
