Questions raised by Members.
·
Is the Association road cleaning cost duplicated in the Ayuntamiento's normal road
cleaning mandate?
·
A point was made that the Ayuntamiento clean the streets so why was extra money paid
to third parties to clean additional areas?
It was explained that there are 2 “difficult area” to keep clean of weeds and rubbish as they
build up rapidly – One in Calle Rosa and the other in Avenida Bernia. Peter the gardener is
paid a flat rate of 60 euros a year and he sprays these areas and keeps them free from
weeds so they do not become a hazard for road users in the interim periods when the
Ayuntamiento doesn’ft clear these places.
Item 7) Questions and future issues.
·
·
App for mobile phones not reasonably possible.
·
Mosquito problem discussion concluded no insecticide spraying as it also kills pollinating
bees. Mention will be made of this problem at March meeting with Ayuntamineto.
·
Details of Ayuntamiento plan for Altea is available on Vecino website.
