Hi La Manga Club (Rupert),
We wondered when you were going to chip in seeing as you are one of the people involved in all of this
Truth and transparency, yes some of that would be good and is what we have been asking for !
Yes you did offer another unit that is already up and running. Which will cost 3 times more to take over the lease and equipment than the Golf shop would have. Even taking this unit, we are still unsure if we could change it to what we wanted to do as the banks will not reply to us. They said yes when we were having the Golf Shop but arent prepared to answer now and after whats happened with things changing so much its a very big risk to take, without knowing !
Dont forget we have spent thousands already on equipment and vehicles to be told at the 11th hour we couldnt do what we wanted.
If we spent our funding on this unit we would have very little left to survive through the winter ! and we would need money to change the unit in to what we wanted to do with it as well
As for basing a business on renting the outside terrace to a neighbour, pot and kettle springs to mind ! but as you have raised this matter of the terrace of the Golf Shop, it was and is already sorted out , before we met you and the bank.
As you and all the other unit owners know, in the contracts it states the business has the sole use of its outside terrace, NOT THE NEIGHBOURS ! However, we have it in writing the established business doesnt want/need the terrace
So asking you the same as we have IRM, (who have refused to answer) why did you say there was a meeting with all the eating/drinking unit owners ? stating they didnt want any more eating establishments to open ?
We have asked some of the BIG FOOD unit owners and they have said there was no such meeting - we have this in writing
We were told by you that the established business threatened to leave if he did not get his way - eg our outside terrace, we have it in writing he knows nothing about this and said no such thing ! as he didnt need the space any more due to more food eating places opening up.
As for offering an empty unit on the other side, the same applies as before we need answers as to what we can do but again we have had no reply, meaning we are unable to progress any further
