Hi, I would like to know when the next coach trip goes from Camposol to Zenia shopping centre please.

The announcement in the press by the Mayor of Mazarron, Senor Campillo, of the new council care office at the social centre on sector B,  should be a welcome initiative, however an unfortunate  by-product is that the use of the small council office and its facilities, granted by the town hall to AVC, appears to have been rescinded by this initiative, as opening hours and days are the same as those allocated to AVC.  As we now have nowhere to call home, we will unfortunately need to suspend our activities until we find another location to work from. We have not received any official communication from the Town Hall or any offer for alternative accommodation. We will be vacating the office on Monday 24th March and storing our official documentation in an alternative, secure location to ensure we comply with our data protection obligations.

In practical terms, what does this mean:

1)    Assistance given to the Town Hall  with the distribution of the notification letters regarding the change of planning regime for Camposol, is now suspended. (The documentation for distribution to the announced sectors remains at the social centre. Neighbours may wish to collect them from the member of council staff who will be at the office from 9am till 2pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The only caveat is that the mayor’s announcement says that appointments will be necessary, to receive services, although no information is given, how to make an appointment).

2)    Assistance given to the  Town Hall with the preparations for the Europe Day fiesta on 9th May, to be held on Camposol, has been ongoing and we will explore if and how we can continue this support for the benefit of Camposol neighbours.

3)    We proposed to the Town Hall last year, the creation of a register of vulnerable persons on Camposol. An official project has been due to be created by the Town Hall and social services, with AVC, FAST and other local charities, to enable assistance to vulnerable people, to be provided. We do not know the effect of this announcement on the project.

4)    Creation of a “punto violeta” at the social centre as a point of reference for victims of gender violence, in support of the national campaign in Spain,  is suspended.

5)    The assistance we have been providing to financially vulnerable neighbours in accessing additional income, discounts on electricity and water bills, as well as accessing the Caritas foodbanks, is also unfortunately suspended

6)    The video’s and associated report we have prepared regarding the green waste situation will still be submitted to the town hall.

7)    We have proposed to collate all the relevant information regarding the parlous state of the public roads, not just Avenida de Los Covachos, into one report for submission to the town hall. This activity will be suspended until we find a location to work from.

We are a new and small association that wants to work for the benefit of the neighbourhood on single and joint projects. The allocation of use of the social centre office and its facilities has been crucial to us being able to start and work on some of the activities we proposed and which are available to see on our website at www.avc.org.es  We publish information in five languages, Spanish, English, French Dutch and German to try and accommodate the main languages spoken on Camposol. It is hugely disappointing to us that we have in effect been evicted from our workplace, however we are determined not to let this setback prevent us from moving forward for the benefit of the neighbourhood. We will publish more news when we have it on our website and also on our Facebook page.  If you have any questions about this information item, you can email us at [email protected] or use the contact us page on the website www.avc.org.es

Looking to learn Spanish.?

Can anyone guide me to a company who supplies and installs steel or aluminium car ports for driveways. 

Hi everyone, I’ve been working as an architect in Murcia for many years, and I remember hearing reports a while back about poor soil compaction during the groundwork for some buildings in Camposol.

Since this topic has come up before, I’d love to hear your real experiences. Have you or someone you know had issues with settlement cracks? How have people dealt with these problems?

Is there any Spanish lessons on camposol and if so when and how much please 

Hello,

Once the rain stops,  I plan to empty and regrout our swimming pool. Can anyone recommend a local supplier of acid to clear the existing grout please. TIA
