Hello everyone.

Wishing all our Advertisers and Readers a VeryMerry Christmas and Happy New Year andwelcome to yet another Christmas edition of yourGran Alacant Advertiser.Unfortunately it has been another hard year for

everyone and can only hope that next year will bebrighter for all.It does seem though that Gran Alacant has been

looked after better than many urbanisations ifreading the newspapers is anything to go by. Wehave had the new Sports Centre open, a lovely newfountain built, new paving going in, to name but afew improvements to our urbanisation.If you look through the magazine you will find

places for Christmas festivities and New YearsParties, also watch out for posters for theChristmas activities arranged by our Santa PolaTown Hall. Hopefully there could be a choirperforming Christmas Carols on Gran Alacantduring December, we have been working withLoreto and people concerned to try and make thishappen, so fingers crossed, watch out forinformation on that.Take care and enjoy Christmas whether it’s in

Spain or else where.Winner of the Los Belgas Wordsearch was Van

We at your Gran Alacant Advertiser continue to bring you all of the news, including that from our Gran Alacant Councillor, Loreto Cascales, as we have since May 2005.

It is our perogative at the magazine, NOT to update this2005 picture, as we all looked a great deal younger!!!

We start with a couple of emails tous about rubbish

1. What a picturesque welcome! It'sa pity we can't photograph the

smells!--andthis is outsideGran MundoRestauranteand ConsumSupermar-ket.TheCouncil attempt tokeep thebins cleanfrom time totime, buttheir effortsare abusedwith greaseand dirt depositedon surroundingpedestrianareas in nosmall partby localCommercialUsers and"Drive-By"Oppor-tunists. We havelived with

this for 7 years now, and it is a huge"blot on the landscape" for PuertoMarino part of Gran Alacant. It's sucha pity, as we love living here and areproud of other improvements.Is there any help please?

2. Please, Please, Please, could youask Loreto why there are still nopaving slabs, after almost 8yrs, onthe pavement opposite the pool onAvda Finlandia 5 to Avda 7 nos.197-201, opposite the car wash at PuertoMarino, the only area on the urbanisation without them. It is useddaily as a "dog toilet". My husbandand I had a meeting with Loreto several months ago and provided photographs that she had asked forof the fouling. Nothing has beendone since then and until slabs arelaid it will only get worse. It was noticed by many residents that thearea was cleared for the mini-marathon last weekend!!-beforethat it was impossible to walk onthat side of the road.This does not create a very goodimage to people visiting the area.It seems to me that Puerto Marino isnot included in any of the plans forimprovements in the Gran Alacantarea.

Also for the past 8years we havelooked out to a building site full of rubble and builders waste. I cannotunderstand why everything is"dumped"in front of our houses,why cant it be put near to Lidl &Consum side of the land. Could itbe possible to screen the wiremeshing further so that it is totally obscure from the outsidelooking in. Surely this would give abetter impression of the area. Thissubject has been brought up at almost all of the urbanisationmeetings - to no avail.

I would be most grateful if youcould kindly discuss this problemwith Loreto-it is causing a greatdeal of stress. Thanking you in anticipation. On behalf of myselfand many unhappy friends &neighbours. Puerto Marino.

Firstly, from us, fines are beingissued NOW for rubbish and dogfouling abusers.

Loreto did take this matter up forthe residents. These areas havenothing to do with the Town Hall. Itis all the responsibility of Los Serranos, the people who own theGA Commercial Centre. The answergiven to Loreto is that the companywill sort these problems out, butthe lack of money at the momentmakes things rather difficult. As regards the mess by the bins.Again, this area has not yet beenhanded over to the Town Hall, sothey should not even be lookingafter these bins but Loreto askedthe cleaning company to empty

them. There was no special bin cleaningbefore the marathon, just the usualclean to try to help the community.This was also apparent when thelack of street lighting was broughtto the Town Halls notice. Loretospoke with Los Serranos and theproblem was solved although thisagain was no responsibility of theTown Hall. Rubbish from bins is a nightmarefor the cleaning team at the TownHall. They empty the bins and onlya few hours later rubbish is strewnaround outside the bins again. Rubbish should be PUT IN THEBINS not just dumped on the pavements. Bins are emptied dailyso they should not be over flowing,if they are, take rubbish to the nextavailable bin. Please think of theenvironment.Pictures below and overleaf, showthe new park area being provided

by MASA builders.These park areas have to be provided by the builders when theytake over area plots for house building.Pathways will be for walking and cycling and the area will include aplayground and small sports area,lighting and benches. The Town Hall

will not sign off areas of building unless this park land has been provided.We will have pictures next month ofthe OPENING OF the SPORTSCENTRE. It was due to be opened onNovember 27th when our magazinewas at the printers. It was to be a big event, lasting allday from 9.30am to 8pm with all ofthe sports facilities being used by associations and schools. As wesay..more details next month.

At the initiative of the Departmentof Transport, which manages theTown line between the companySuBus they will include two hoursevery Saturday a stop at the newcemetery, thus addressing the request of the citizens of Santa Polawith the need to have a public busroute going to the cemetery, locatedaway from town.

The City of Santa Pola, through itsLocal Development Agency, has received a grant of 94,500 euros to

implement a new Comprehensive Plan forEmployment for recipients of unemployment benefits,called PIE-MOTIVA'T2011. These programsare part of the employment promotion grants that theDepartment of Economics, Finance andEmployment, togetherwith the European SocialFund, promoted in thearea of the Valencia

Community.

The fountain on the roundaboutnear the school is still not working.The Town Hall has an insurance agreement to cover anybreakdowns, and the company whoconstructed this are duty bound torepair the problem. We did askwhether the watering system wasworking for the watering of the newplants. Loreto rang those concernedto check that all was ok.

All newpavementsare beinglaid fromtheCarabasiComplex,up towardsthe school.Manypavementson our urbanisa-tion are not very wide, so whenmoney allows, the Town Hall are carrying out this work. We did saywe have been asked to mention thesunken drain outside the entrance toMediterranean 1, this is causingproblems parking cars, so a phonecall was made, and hopefully this willbe resolved.

Santa Claus and the Three Kings willbe coming to Gran Alacant on December 18th at the GA ComercialCentre and more Christmas activitieswill also take place on January 3rd at

the LIfe Resort.

Loreto would love a choir to bethere, singing Christmas Carols,so have enlisted us to try to provide one for both of the aboveevents.

You may have noticed that workhas started on the new SantaPola marina. Money for this hascome from Central Governmentat Valencia and from Private Enterprises. This money was allprovided before the economiccrisis hit home.

Starting Thursday, November 24will start operating a new callcenter in the Health Center ofSanta Pola, prepared for the future enlargement of the clinicand will allow greater flexibility in receiving and making phonecalls. There is a change in phonenumbers, from that date to be

appointments 96.691.53.00 and 96.691.53.03 for emergencies.

We wish all of our readers alovely Christmas and New Year,and hope that you enjoy ournews pages, in English, Spanishand Dutch.

Please give us feedback andplenty of questions each month,to put to our local Councillor.

Empezamos con un par de emailssobre BASURA

1. ¡Que bienvenida más pintoresca!Es una pena que no podamos fotografiar los olores. Esto se encuentra en la parte de atrás delrestaurante Gran Mundo y el Supermercado Consum. El Ayuntamiento intenta mantener loscontenedores limpios pero su esfuerzo es inútil debido a que losresidentes y los propios locales depositan grasa y suciedad en lasaceras cercanas a los contene-dores.

2. ¡Por favor! podrían preguntarle aLoreto porqué la acera que va de laAvda. Finlandia del nº5 al 7 no estáacabada (frente del Auto lavado enPuerto Marino) es la única zona dela urbanización que no tiene acera.Se usa a diario como “WC para perros”. Mi marido y yo tuvimosuna reunión con Loreto hace variosmeses y le enseñamos unas fotosdemostrativas. No se ha hechonada al respecto. Varios residentesse dieron cuenta de que limpiaronla zona para la mini-maratón de lasemana pasada. Antes era imposible caminar por ese lado dela calle. Esto no crea una buenaimagen a la gente que visita lazona. Me parece a mí que PuertoMarino no está incluido en ningunode los planes para mejorar GranAlacant.Todos los que nos visitan nos hacencomentarios sobre estas zonas desaliñadas.

También, durante los últimos 8años hemos estado contemplandolos terrenos de obras llenos de escombros. No puedo entenderporque tiran los escombros justoenfrente de nuestras casas ¿Porqué no pueden dejarlos cerca delLidl o Consum, usando ese lado del

solar?¿Sería posible tapar las vallas conalgún material para que no sepueda ver directamente dentro?Esto seguramente daría una mejorimpresión a la zona.Este tema lleva saliendo variasveces en nuestras reuniones de vecinos, pero sin ningún resultado.

Estaría de lo más agradecido sipudieran discutir este problema conLoreto, está causando bastante estrés. Gracias de antemano, de miparte y de parte de muchos amigosy vecinos descontentos.

Bueno, de parte nuestra: YA estánmultando a los que dejen escombros o defecaciones de animales.

Estas zonas no tienen relación conel Ayuntamiento. Es la responsabili-dad de Los Serranos, los dueñosdel Centro Comercial. Loreto estuvohablando con ellos y la respuestarecibida es que la compañía solucionará estos problemas peroque debido a la falta de dinero enestos momentos resulta bastantecomplicado.Con respecto a la suciedad de loscontenedores, esta zona no ha sidocedida al Ayuntamiento, así que nisiquiera deberían estar vaciandoestos contenedores, Loreto ha pedido a la compañía de limpiezaque los vacíe.No hubo una limpieza especial parala maratón, simplemente lalimpieza general que se hace paraayudar a la comunidad.Se le ha llamado la atención alAyuntamiento sobre el problema dela iluminación de las calles. Aunqueel Ayuntamiento no es responsable,Loreto ha hablado con Los Serranosy el problema se ha resuelto.La basura de los contenedores esuna pesadilla para el equipo de

limpieza del Ayuntamiento. Losvacían y tan sólo un par de horasmás tarde de nuevo hay bolsas enel suelo.¡Las bolsas deben tirarse dentro delos contenedores, no se debendejar al lado! Los contenedores sevacían una vez al día así que no deberían estar desbordadas y si loestán tienen que llevar la basurahasta el próximo contenedor.Tenemos fotos del nuevo parqueque está haciendo MASA. Las constructoras tienen que proveerde zonas verdes si usan terrenospara la construcción de casas.Tendremos caminos para pasear eir en bici, la zona incluirá un parquepara niños, una zona de deporte,bancos y farolas.El mes que viene tendremos lasfotos de la APERTRURA DELPOLIDEPORTIVO, abrió el 27 de Noviembre, cuando nosotrosestábamos en la imprenta. Fue ungran evento, empezando a las9.30am hasta las 8pm con la presencia de asociaciones y escuelas usando las instalaciones.Como hemos dicho, les comentaremos más el mes queviene.

Una iniciativa del Departamento deTransporte, que administra la líneade la compañía SuBus, incluirá durante dos horas al día (los sábados) una parada en el cementerio nuevo, así complaciendo la petición de los ciudadanos de Santa Pola quenecesitan un bus público para ir alcementerio, que está alejado de laciudad.

La ciudad de Santa Pola, a travésde la Agencia de Desarrollo Local,ha recibido una subvención de94,500€ para implementar un Plande Empleo para los receptores delos subsidios de desempleo, llamado PIE-MOTIVA’T 2011. Estosprogramas son parte de las promociones de empleo del Departamento de Economía, Finanza y Empleo conjunto con losFondos Sociales Europeos, promovido en la zona de la Comunidad Valenciana.

La fuente de la rotonda cerca del

colegio todavía esta rota. El Ayuntamiento tiene un acuerdo deseguro para cubrir cualquier avería, la compañía lo va a arreglar. Preguntamos si el sistema de riegoestá funcionando para las plantasnuevas. Loreto llamó a los responsables para ver si todo estábien.

Están reformando las aceras quevan del Complejo Carabasi hasta elcolegio. Muchas aceras son muyestrechas así que cuando el dineropermite, el Ayuntamiento las va arreglando. Le comentamos aLoreto sobre una alcantarilla hundida en la entrada de Mediterráneo I que está causandoproblemas a la hora de aparcar.Loreto lo está solucionando.

Santa Claus y los Reyes Magos llegarán a Gran Alacant el 18 de Diciembre en el Centro Comercial y se harán más actividades navideñas el 3 de Eneroen el Life Resort.

A Loreto le encantaría tener uncoro cantando en alguno de los doseventos, estamos buscando genteque quiera cantar.

Es posible que hayan visto lasobras en la marina de Santa Pola.El dinero viene del Gobierno Central de Valencia y de EmpresasPrivadas. Este dinero fue otorgadoantes de la crisis.

Deseamos a todos nuestros lectores una Feliz Navidad y FelizAño Nuevo y esperamos que disfruten de nuestras páginas enInglés, Español y Holandés.

Por favor, enviadnos emails conpreguntas y nosotros se lo pasaremos a nuestra Concejalalocal.

Más noticias el mes que viene.

is nu binnen VLAAMS

Sorry. Computer vertaling voor December. Hoop dat je het kan lezen.

We beginnen met een paar e-mails naarons over afval

1. Wat een schilderachtig welkom! Het isjammer dat we niet kunnen fotograferende geuren - en dit isbuiten Gran MundoRestaurante en Consum Supermarket.The Raadproberen te houden van debakken schoon van tijd tot tijd, maar huninspanningen worden misbruikt met veten vuil gedeponeerd op omliggendevoetgangersgebieden in geen klein deeldoor de lokale Commerciële gebruikersen "Drive-By 'opportunisten.We hebben geleefd met deze 7 jaar nu,en het is een enorme "smet op het land-schap" voor Puerto Marino deel van GranAlacant. Het is zo jammer, omdat wehouden van leven hier en zijn trots opandere verbeteringen.Is er enige hulp aub?

2. Alsjeblieft, alsjeblieft, alsjeblieft, zouje kunnen vragen Loreto waarom er noggeen tegels, na bijna min. leeftijd 8 jaar,op de stoep tegenover het zwembad opAvda Finlandia 5 tot 7 Avda nos.197-201,tegenover de auto wassen bij PuertoMarino, de enige gebied op deverstedelijking zonder hen. Het wordtdagelijks gebruikt als een "hond toilet".Mijn man en ik hadden een ontmoetingmet Loreto enkele maanden geleden enop voorwaarde dat foto's die ze hadgevraagd om van de vervuiling. Is erniets gebeurd sindsdien en tot platen zijngelegd zal het alleen maar erger. Het wasopgemerkt door veel bewoners dat hetgebied werd ontruimd voor demini-marathon afgelopen weekend!eerder dat het onmogelijk was om telopen aan die kant van de weg.Dit betekent niet leiden tot een zeer goedbeeld om mensen een bezoek aan hetgebied.Het lijkt mij dat Puerto Marino niet isopgenomen in een van de plannen voorverbeteringen op het gebied Gran Ala-cant.

Een ieder die een bezoek brengt onscommentaar op de "eyesores"

Ook voor de afgelopen acht jaar hebbenwe gekeken naar een bouwplaats vol

puin en bouwers afval. Ik kan niet begri-jpen waarom alles is "gedumpt" in devoorkant van onze huizen, waarom canthet in de buurt worden voorgelegd aanLidl & Consum kant van het land. Zou hetmogelijk zijn om de draad scherm elkaargrijpende verder, zodat het is totaal nietsvan buiten naar binnen Waarlijk, dit zoueen betere indruk van het gebied. Dit on-derwerp is opgevoed op bijna alle van deurbanisatie bijeenkomsten - zonder re-sultaat.

Ik zou zeer dankbaar zijn als u zo vrien-delijk Bespreek dit probleem met Loreto-it wordt veroorzaakt door een groot deelvan stress. Dank u bij anticipatie. Na-mens mijzelf en vele ongelukkige vrien-den en buren. Puerto Marino.

Ten eerste, van ons, worden de boeteswordt nu afgegeven voor rommel enhondenpoep misbruikers.

Loreto deed nemen deze zaak voor debewoners. Deze gebieden hebben nietste maken met het stadhuis. Het is de ve-rantwoordelijkheid van Los Serranos, demensen die zelf de GA Commercial Cen-tre. Het antwoord op Loreto is dat hetbedrijf zal deze problemen uitzoeken,maar het gebrek aan geld op het mo-ment dat maakt het nogal moeilijk.Ten aanzien van de puinhoop van de

bakken. Nogmaals, op dit gebied nog nietis overgedragen aan de Town Hall, dus zemoeten ook niet op zoek na deze bakken,maar Loreto gevraagd het schoon-maakbedrijf om ze te legen.Er was geen speciale bak reiniging voor

de marathon, alleen de gebruikelijkeschoon te proberen om de gemeenschapte helpen. Dit was ook zichtbaar wanneerhet ontbreken van straatverlichting werdgebracht aan de Town Halls merken.Loreto sprak met Los Serranos en hetprobleem was opgelost, hoewel dit wasweer geen verantwoordelijkheid van hetstadhuis.Afval van de bakken is een nachtmerrie

voor de schoonmaak team op het stad-huis. Ze legen van de bakken en slechtseen paar uur later onzin is bezaaid rondbuiten de bakken opnieuw.Afval moet worden gelegd in de bakkenniet alleen gedumpt op de

15

trottoirs. Containers worden dagelijksgeleegd, zodat ze mag niet meer danstromen, als ze zijn, rommel naar de vol-gende beschikbare bak. Denk aan hetmilieu.Foto's hieronder en ommezijde, tonen denieuwe park wordt verstrekt door MASAbouwers.Deze parken moeten wordenverstrekt door de bouwers als ze over tenemen oppervlakte percelen voor huisgebouw.Pathways zal worden om te wandelen enfietsen en het gebied zal ook een speel-tuin en klein sportveld, verlichting enbankjes. Het stadhuis zal niet aftekenengebied van bouw tenzij dit park land isverstrekt.We zullen volgende maand foto's van deOPENING van het Sportcentrum. Het waste wijten aan worden geopend op 27 no-vember bij ons tijdschrift was bij deprinters.Het was om een groot evenement, du-

urzame hele dag 09:30-tot-twintig metalle sportfaciliteiten wordt gebruikt doorworden verenigingen en scholen. Zoalswe zeggen .. meer details volgendemaand.

Op initiatief van het ministerie van Ver-keer en Waterstaat, die de stad lijntussen het bedrijf SuBus beheert zijzullen onder meer twee uur elke zater-dag een stop bij de nieuwe begraaf-plaats, dus het aanpakken van deverzoek van de inwoners van Santa Polamet de noodzaak om een bus route naarde begraafplaats, gelegen op afstand vande stad hebben.

De stad van Santa Pola, via haar lokaleDevelopment Agency, heeft ontving eensubsidie van 94.500 euro om een nieuweimplementerenAlgemeen Plan voor de werkgelegenheidvoor ontvangers vanwerkloosheidsuitkeringen, de zoge-naamde PIE-MOTIVA'T 2011. Deze pro-gramma's maken deel uit van de werksubsidies ter bevordering dat het Minis-terie vanEconomie, Financiën en Werkgelegen-heid, samen met het Europees SociaalFonds, gepromoveerd op het gebied vanhet autonome gebied Valencia.

De fontein op de rotonde de buurt vande school is nog steeds niet. Het stadhuisheeft eenverzekeringsovereenkomst tot eventuelestoringen te dekken, en het bedrijf diegebouwd dit zijn plicht om het probleemte herstellen. We hebben gevraagd of hetwater-systeem werkte voor de bewater-ing van de nieuwe planten. Loreto beldede betrokkenen om te controleren ofalles ok was.

Alle nieuwe bestrating worden gelegdvan de Carabasi Complex, een stijgingvan de richting van de school. Veel trot-toirs op onze verstedelijking zijn niet ergbreed, dus als geld toelaat, het stadhuiszijnuitvoering van deze werkzaamheden. Wehadden dat we zijn gevraagd om degezonken afvoer buiten de ingang aan demediterrane 1 noemen, dit is problemenparkeren van auto's veroorzaakt, duseen telefoontje werd gemaakt, enhopelijk zal dit worden opgelost.

Kerstman en de Drie Koningen zalkomen te Gran Alacant op 18 decemberbij de GA Comercial Centre en nog veelmeer kerst-activiteiten zal ook plaatsvin-den op 3 januari in de Life Resort.

Loreto zou een koor graag om daar tezijn, zingen Christmas Carols, dushebben ingeroepen ons om te proberente voorzien in een voor beide boven-staande gebeurtenissen.

Je hebt misschien gemerkt dat het werkis begonnen op de nieuwe jachthavenvan Santa Pola. Geld hiervoor is afkom-stig uit Centraal-regering in Valencia envan Private Ondernemingen. Dit geld wasal verstrekt voordat de economische cri-sis getroffen huis.

Vanaf donderdag zal 24 november startde exploitatie van een nieuw call centerin het Health Center van Santa Pola,voorbereid op de toekomstige uitbreidingvan de kliniek en zal een grotere flexi-biliteit voor de opvang en het maken vantelefoongesprekken. Er is een verander-ing in de telefoonnummers, vanaf diedatum te worden

afspraken 96.691.53.00en96.691.53.03 voor noodgevallen.

Hi Barry & Sandra

Just to let you know that I keep up to date with events in GA each day with websites and yourmag each month, even though for my sins I find myself in cold old Aberdeen for the first timein my life for the past four months, but heah itʼs work which very important to keep the wolvesat bay. My wife is still residing in Don Pueblo, again last night while every one is commentingon how much they enjoyed the storm, which we used to do, but now our great fear is that witheach storm our house and under build where we SLEEP when itʼs not a stormy night will beflooded. We live opposite Maxcoop on life resort and since the Life resort has been built all thewater that used to fall in that area on scrub land is now being collected and put into generaldrains. These drains just cannot take the deluge of water and us being at lowest point getflooded into our back patio, yes we have spent money to try and stop water entering our underbuild which till now has been successful, but each year we get all the slurry and filth that is associated with drain over flowing on to our back patio. I have been to se Loreta more thantwice she tells me it will cost a lot to sort out and with much disruption to traffic flow in ourarea, as well as telling me how well the council has solved problems in the Noriavia area butas I said to you and her in previous mail there are no houses for 100 mtrs.My wife has been to local town hall this morning and yes I understand that Loreta is busyyoung lady, our administrator will try and contact both her and council in next few days, couldyou please bring this subject up with her at your next meeting. Please tell her she or indeedyou self are welcome at our house or my wife can make appointment to see her any time, asthis problem is not getting better and now the rains are falling we fear with each storm.

Will be meeting with Loreto to discuss this on going problem. (Sandra & Barry)

Yesterday I was at my local Sainsbury's store buying a largebag of Winalot dog food for my loyal pet and was in the

checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

What did she think I had an elephant? So, since I'm retired and havelittle to do, on impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting theWinalot Diet again. I added that I probably shouldnʼt, because I ended up inhospital last time, but I'd lost 2 stone before I woke up in intensive care withtubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is toload your pockets with Winalot nuggets and simply eat one or two every timeyou feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I wasgoing to try it again. (I have to mention here that practically everyone in queuewas now enthralled with my story.)

Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog foodpoisoned me? I told her no, I stepped off the kerb to sniff an Irish Setter's bumand a car hit me.

I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack he waslaughing so hard. I'm now banned from Sainsbury's.

Better watch what you ask retired people.

They have all the time in the world to think of daft things to say.
