San Fulgencio – the budget questions continue In the last week there have been two plenary council meetings. One to approve the 2017 budget and the second regarding grants. As the President of and Councillor for the PIPN and member of the opposition for the municipality of San Fulgencio, Samantha Hull said “I think it is of vital importance that details of these meetings are made public. The PIPN team would like to express their disgust at the lack of financial support being given to the residents of the Urbanisations. The budget is neither proportional nor just.” In the plenary meeting of Monday 29th of May, the San Fulgencio PP Council voted to cancel a grant from the 2017 Provincial Plan of 450,000€. This money was earmarked for the repair of roads on the Marina-Oasis Urbanisations. The grant was cancelled due to the 2017 budget not having been approved earlier enough in the year. In the same meeting, the PP council voted in favour of an application to Alicante for a 2018 grant under the same Provincial Plan for exactly the same amount of money, 450,000€. This money is for the repair of children’s playgrounds and 170,000€ of the grant is for the construction of a cover for a small football pitch in the village. Continued on page 5
