When staying at DV I mostly walk up and down to the port and other places.  This gives one plenty of time to notice  the many defects in the road, footpath, lighting etc.  Whilst there has been minor improvements over the last two years there still needs to be significant work to bring the access up to standard.

It occurs to me that both holiday renters and prospective buyers must be put off by the poor quality of the access roads - unless the prospective buyers optimisitcally believe work is on-going.

If you were to walk through Manilva you and its immediate surroundings you would be astounded by the difference in the quality of the roads and footpaths.  That have real stone slab pavements.  The new town square is impressive.  Even the lane at the back of DV that runs up to Manilva has been tarmaced (done in Nov 2013).  

 

Where did all that money come from?   Well I am sure some of it came from you and I.  Those elected to run Manilva council clearly look after there electorate.  With few actual voters living in estates like Duquesa Village is not surprising that our needs get neglected.  

So I am very glad to see an initiative was reported at the AGM to pressure the council with legal action.  The banks who still have many apartments to sell in DV will be keen to progress this and I am thankful that they are still an interested party as a suspect,

The interesting para in the minutes reads:-

"The  president reminded  the  meeting  of  the  problems  outlined  by  Mr  Jesús 
Pérez  Sesmero,  member  of  the  committee  board, regarding  the  access  to  the 
urbanisation,  the  lack  of  covers on  manholes,  the  poor  state  of  the  roads,  lack  of 
lighting, and the pot  holes. Mr José ‘Pepe’ Torres made a photographic record for 
the administration. This was sent to the council along with corresponding documents 
on 15 November 2013 and to date we have not received a reply.  The presidentsaid 
they would give six months (until after summer) and if no reply was forthcoming they 
community wouldinstruct its legal representatives to take any action possible."

Well done Mr Sesmero and Mr Torres.

When walking home one dark night and  I inevitably fall and break a leg in a drain hole, I will be taking legal action myself.
