The
sub community AGMs were held last month with only 50 owners attending
across the whole resort, not really a good show of strength for the
Committee
So many empty chairs!
In addition a lot of the proposals were not passed:
Hence most of the sub communities were voted on but 15% of the sub communities were not!
For Phase 7 which represents over 20% of the apartments within the resort with 600 owners then only 7 owners across the whole Phase decided
to stand for sub community presidents meaning that 4 of the sub
communities have no one elected. Not really a great start for Hilary!
We continue to request all owners to boycott the Sub Community elections until such time that all sub community issues are adequately addressed.
It
is also quite apparent how many owners throughout the resort are now
completely disillusioned by the conduct of the Committee and their "dog
eat dog" attitude to not considering material owners issues. In time
these issues will be addressed by one way or another.
Legal Action commences against the Committee
As reported by the HRGR Blog:
We have been informed that a group of HRGR owners have, through a lawyer, have
taken out a Denuncia against the Committee attempting to have the
gardening work stopped and reversed. The owners who have
done are local Spanish residents including Sub community Presidents.
To quote
" I consider what they have done to be
undemocratic and selfish. What gives them the right to stop
what the rest of the resort want, and know is a change for
the better, visibly, financially and for the environment? We now have to
incur legal expenses to defend this case.
We have had the
permission of the Town Hall (they own the land in question)
to carry out this work. In the meantime the work is
continuing until the Town Hall order us to stop.
Regards
Ron"
But not for long......................
"Further to my
previous email, regrettably we have had to take the decision
to stop the work. This is because, in Spanish law, if a
claimant asks for a provisional measure, which the opponents
of this change have done, and if the Town Hall doesn’t
respond within 30 days, the provisional measure must be
executed. This is referred to as an “administrative
silence”. As it has now reached 30 days, to stay within the
law we must stop the work. It doesn’t mean that there is
anything wrong with what we have done, it just means that
the Town Hall have not got round to dealing with it.
The decision
means that everything will be left as it is until the Town
Hall responds. We don’t know how long this will be but, in
the meantime 4 gardeners have unnecessarily lost their jobs.
The next steps
for us are:
· Isaac is having a meeting with
our lawyer.
· Isaac has arranged a meeting with the
Town Hall for 9am on Monday.
Appears
to be yet another cock-up by the Committee and Ron yet again despite
the Resort Presidents clear 2012 manifesto statement to
"We welcome the concept of adopting Spanish culture
and would wish to integrate the various nationalities represented within HR
into a semblance of “Spanishness”. We are not interested in being in a little
bit of England in Spain and will do all we can to avoid anglicising our resort.
I have already been in contact with some of the Spanish community in an effort
to establish relationships for the future.
We bought in to the concept of a 5* complex and
although, like so many, are deeply disappointed that PW did not deliver on
their promises, intend to do our best to ensure that we improve the quality and
standards of our resort so that the value of all our properties will increase
and that those who need rental income will have first class facilities to sell. "
But
then Nigel is clearly afraid to raise his head and comment further on
this or for that matter any other subject especially the 1 Million euros of debtors and 250,000 euros of bad debts!!!!!!!
Now that the Community owns the Sports Area then hopefully they will consider the Health and Safety aspects for young children!
PW Building Defects Case PW have not made the first payment of the
settlement, a bureauxfax has been sent to them to give them an extra 15 days
(on advice from Montoya the lawyer) and if payment is not made by the
beginning of March, we are going back to court. So far no payment has been forthcoming but then what did we expect???????????
Lack of Water Continues.................
