Resumé of Pleno of 27th of April 2010
Again a new big building project is taking its way. This time outside Orihuela, called “Molino de la Ciudad”. All opposition parties are against it. There is no building land in the suburbs of Orihuela (Torremendo, La Murada etc.), therefore young families who want their own housing do have to move somewhere else. This project will destroy the rest of the traditional “Huerta” (vegetable fields etc.) of the area. Also the promoting work will most probably be given to Grupo San José (yes, THE San José which is nearly bankrupt, but Councillor Barberá of Urbanism did say that having some financial problems does not mean that the company will disappear. But we from Los Verdes do not understand his position.
APPROVED WITH THE MAJORITY OF RULING PARTY PP.
All opposition parties against.
Request of the PSOE that the old Court Building (near the Town Hall) which belongs to the Generalidad Valencia should be handed over to Orihuela. At the present moment Orihuela Town Hall is paying large amounts on rent for official offices and on the other side this building is empty since the Court moved into the new building some years ago. It is requested that the Town Hall makes some pressure onto Valencia to obtain this building.
This story is 8 years old….
APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY
Los Verdes request that Mr. Jaume Matas and Mr. Luis Fernando Cartagena should not cover anymore the special duty on the Fiesta day of Orihuela as they both have been condemned.
All oppositon parties did approved.
APPROVED WITH THE MAJORITY OF RULING PARTY PP.
Request of Los Verdes to reserve land in the new planning for a cemetery in Orihuela as well as in Orihuela Costa.
Request of CLR to improve the very bad condition of the La Regia Park.
Councillor Aniorte insist that this park is not “abandoned” and “does not look to bad”, he shows pictures taken from far away. Los Verdes and PSOE do fully support the request of CLR. Aniorte insists that 26.000 € have been spend there (where?) in the last 3 years.
He also points out that more than 40 urbanisations have been build and some of them where handed over badly or left unfinished. The opposition parties do answer that they should not have permitted it if they cannot handle it. There is a heated discussion which is cut short by Monica Lorente as she agrees that “the park will be put in good conditions”. We will keep an eye on it.
APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY
Open questions from several other Plenos:
- Los Verdes applied for a list of the mobile phones and asked to view the bills:
o Still no answer. Answer will come in writing.
- I.E.S. School in Playa Flamenca: When will the construction carry on?
- Los Verdes do complain about the schedule of the mobile recycling system and also the fact that it is not put at knowledge of the citizens. The company responsible for the waste collection is permanently not fulfilling the contract conditions. Councillor Abadía as usual defends the company and says we can only complain and should make some suggestions. We will. We always wonder that councillor Abadía, who is paid with money of the citizens, defends the waste company instead of investigating if they fulfil or not…..
- Los Verdes do again ask about the budget for 2010 and the balance of 2009. Lorente says that the balance of 2009 is ready and “looks good”, so we all wonder why it is not presented at the Pleno…. We insist on the budget for 2010 as we are already in May.

Parks in Orihuela Costa
Parks in Orihuela Costa
It is always a pleasure to read that our ruling party PP is going to invest x millions of Euros in the green areas of Orihuela Costa to make them more attractive.
We all know that there is no money and that we have a big crisis, but it does not need millions to keep our existing green areas in good conditions. Back in 2007 Los Verdes made a proposition to use only local plants in public parks which do not need watering and only need little care. Many plants are growing wild and, if cut down to 10cm would be a wonderful coverage for the ground, keep the soil in place when it rains and also look nice. But what does the PP do? Spray the whole ground once or twice a year with chemicals and than pull everything out and leave a naked and empty piece of land where the rain takes the soil away and the wind does the rest. This happens in the El Galan park which at the present moment is “tidy”. See picture on the left. The upper part of this area belongs to San Miguel. The picture to the right .
Los Verdes will request to the ruling PP that the decisions of 2007 are put into action and that the parks are kept with natural plants, leaving them green and avoiding to spray chemicals and pull out everything.
We are also at the moment checking the conditions of the other parks which are officially maintained by the Town Hall. Los Verdes do fully support the complain and proposition from other opposition parties regarding the La Regia park.
To our big surprise, on the last pleno of 27th of April the proposition of CLR to improve the condition of the La Regia Park was accepted, but councillor Aniorte also stated that the La Regia Park “is not abandoned”, that it “costs 1.700€ per month to maintain it” and he also pointed out that 23.000.-€ have been invested there in the last 3 years…………….(there where???) I suggest you all go to see this park, walk through it, let your children play or better not as it is too dangerous, try to play futbol, look well around and try to imagine where 23.000.- € have been spent…….
But we are very pleased that our ruling party PP did accept to improve the conditions of that park and we will keep an eye on it to see if this promise becomes reality in the near future.
