WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH! Garbage piles up overlooking the Royal Park Spa apartments.
‘It’s a dump!’ Residents’ fury over piles of waste By Gemma Quinn RESIDENTS angry at the state of neglect on the Orihuela Costa and the
build-up of garden waste throughout the area have taken to the streets in protest.
Around 80 people demonstrated outside the town hall in Playa Flamenca just weeks after a previous protest failed to get a response from the Councillor for the Coast, Pedro Mancebo. Independent party CLARO’s Councillor Bob Houliston, who organised the gathering, said: “It has reached the point that residents are coming out to protest as they feel that strongly. It is a question of the government putting the necessary resources into the job and they are not doing so.” As the demonstrators dispersed, Euro Weekly
News was taken to an area in Lomos de Cabo Roig which is being used as a sort of transfer point for green waste. Directly opposite the luxury apartment block Royal Park Spa lies a mountain of rubbish. Disgusted residents who live in the apartments overlooking the eyesore in Calle Tourinan say it first started to appear in July. They say the town hall issued leaflets and emails directing residents to dump their garden waste in the containers there, but only one container is in place which is not accessible due to the waste piled up in front Turn to page 4
