Budget approved by PP only.

BUDGET 2010

Finally last week at the special pleno on Thursday the Budget 2010 has been approved with the sole votes of the PP.

Here some details of it:

As you know Orihuela town has one third of the inhabitants, and Orihuela Costa also has one third, the last third are the citizens living in suburbs like Torremendo, La Murada etc.
The investment for Orihuela town is 4,3 million euros. For the Coast it is 700.000 euros. From Los Verdes we are strongly criticising this, especially as the Coast is the most important tourist focus of the municipality. This again shows very clearly that our ruling party PP is only interested in the votes of the Coast, but not in the real necessities of the area.
From Los Verdes we made a number of specific requests for Orihuela Costa to be included in the budget, such as
- a Youth Center
- Adaptation of the parks and roundabouts with so called "zerojardinería" (zero gardening, proposition of Los Verdes of 2007, approved by PP but it never came to action) local plants, easy to maintain and with a very low cost.
- Improvement of the accessibility of the beaches
- Children's play ground in Campoamor
- Offices at the Town Hall in Playa Flamenca for the opposition parties
- Improvement of the street signs and many more.
The full list ist published here on the blog.

ALL THIS HAS BEEN DENIED BY OUR RULING PARTY PP.

We from Los Verdes want to offer a different way of "ruling" Orihuela and we are convinced that the time is there to regenerate the way Orihuela is managed.
