Can’t understand why people would not pay €5 a month towards a police presence. it would give a little more peace of mind as well as being a possible deterrent 

I for one would definitely support the idea

There was a petition. Hardly anyone signed it. I volunteered to man the desk one day and think all I got was 5 signatures. People don't want to pay or don't want police presence was the feed back I got. Not everyone will pay it so can't see it working.

Having a police station on Camposol is a must, but most residents on Camposol is of the opinion that holiday home owners would be having a free ride. Would it be possible to have this €5 (€60 per year) set against every property on Camposol and collected through everyone's IBI that way no one would be getting a free ride. Just a thought folks.

Doubt the town hall would assist getting that set up. We can't even get lights on and roads finished even though supposedly money is set aside

I agree that some form of security patrol system is required.

I would be more than happy to pay each month or yearly for the added security of having police local and willing to put a stop to these types of crimes.

We can't just give up and let the petty villains win!

Thats the problem, no one cares, until it affects them.

Thats because no one sticks together, as the legal team said on the last meeting, you have to put up a show to the town hall, loads of Camposol residents write to the Major, drive dozens and dozens of cars by the town hall, make a noise, the Major wants re election, this will start the ball rolling for us.

Sadly hundreds will not support it, or should I say thousands.

As a holiday home owner and a victim of burglary I would certainly pay my share of any increased IBI payment and would not be looking for a free ride. Us holiday home owners don’t try and claim refunds for the time we are not there so why anyone would think we want a free ride is beyond me.
