Parque del Duque residents hit Brick Wall

Residents of the urbanisation Parque del Duque in Playa Flamenca, together with local business owners, were fuming last week when they discovered that the Community President and Administrators had permitted the construction of a wall at one of the entrances to the community, without their prior consent or knowledge.

The Leader Newspaper was asked to cover the story by the local political party, Partido Independencia de Orihuela Costa (PIOC), following complaints by members of the community of properties and businesses that they were being treated unfairly. They claimed that the wall was being built by the vice-President of the urbanisation without any prior agreement. sonalize.

Earlier in the week they had contacted the Administrators of the urbanisation and insisted that an EGM be called. The Administrators informed them that the wall was being constructed so that the post boxes could be moved to the exterior of the community.

Local community members insisted that they did not want their community contributions to be used for the minor works with local businesses complaining that the sizes of their terraces would be reduced, whilst access to their premises would be restricted.

They also insisted that the works had not been agreed on at a formal meeting and that the Community President was acting beyond his powers.

The situation is currently in dispute although community members hope that the issue will be resolved at the forthcoming AGM which is scheduled for mid July.?
