Hi everybody, I have just returned from Torre Alcantara Balsicas Spain, this is an update on this site. Four properties are for sale that are the closest to the bridge, so we shall see if they still sell easily now that the bridge is built or if they have lost money in value. A tennis court, a five a side football pitch & a community centre are all being built right next to the bridge where the Taray site office once stood. This is for the use of the all the the villagers, as a thank you from the builder for allowing him to build in their village.
Children and parents will all be in this area from the village and from the Torre Alcantara site, while cars are going over this bridge, should anybody throw a empty glass bottle from a moving car it may well hit a child or an adult on the head, as it is not netted with a safety net as it is at the point where the bridge goes over the single railway line. So it shows they are concerned about people throwing things onto the railway track, but that is as far as it goes.
I have been told from a very good source that this flyover bridge as been on the plans for some thirty years (30 YEARS) they have been waiting for the European funding to pay for the building of it. So how can the builder Taray or any of the agents say that they had no knowledge about this bridge, it is and has been comman knowledge to all in that area. Taray had to know when they put their plans in for the properties they wished to build. The green area to the front of the site towards the railway track, which many people were told was going to be a walking area with palm trees etc, is not to be, it is now to have 30 plus town houses on it instead. All I can say it seems to be one broken promise after another being made then broken by the day. On this very day the 26th Sept 2007 this field as a large amount of building equipment & building materals on it.
Should anybody wish to ask any questions please get in touch with me. Regards Dave.
