Senija
THE EFFECTS OF THE LAND LAWS
The residents of Senija are starting to feel the effects of the Valencian land Laws or LRAU as a result of expanding the road linking the town with Benissa. The 50 people affected by the road and whose land is involved will have to pay between twelve and one hundred thousand Euros depending on how much their land is affected. One of those involved, Antonio Tent, has stated that these sums are 'completely unjust' especially since the vast majority of the landowners affected are pensioners and completely unable to come up with the sums that are demanded of them. As a result, Mr. Tent has sought -and finally obtained - a meeting with the mayor that is set to take place in two weeks time.

DISRUPTIONS
Parcent Mayoress Maria Carmen Lopez yesterday ordered the police to close down a stand that had been set up inside the annual Artisan’s Fair that was protesting and collecting signatures against the creation of three new Urbanizations in the town, in effect swelling the population by 1,800 people. She added that the protesters had no right or permission to seek signature or to protest at the future Urbanizations during a fair that represented a local fiesta. On two separate occasions yesterday the Local Police force tried to dislodge the protesters, but finally their efforts were in vain and the fiesta passed off peacefully.
Meanwhile it has been revealed that the European Court of Justice has issued a demand that representatives from Spain and the Valencian Community answer charges over allegations that new urbanizations set in areas outside any town do not have the relevant environmental study before being presented or approved. It was in April last year that the European Union opened a dossier against Spain and the Valencian Community for ‘lack of transparency and competence in the adjudication of the approved urbanizing plans in various areas of the Valencian Community’. A spokesman for the AUN collective commented: “If the Valencian Community forms a part of Spain, and Spain forms a part of the European Union, then European laws should be respected in the Valencian Community.”

Valencia Life. 20.3.6
PROTEST AIRED
The coordinator of those protesting the creation of a new 1,500-home urbanization and an 18-hole golf course between Banyares and Bocairent straddling the borders between Alicante and Valencia Provinces has just released a new study on the project. Based mainly on the water needs, the study showed that the needs of the urbanization and the golf course would amount to a million cubic metres of water annually, whilst in the summer the golf course would need 3,000 cubic meters of water a day. As a result, the water supply of the two towns 'would be severely affected' the report added.
Brits seeking out?
Meanwhile, an article in the Sunday Times of London yesterday revealed that Britons 'are desperately seeking to get rid of their properties on the coastal areas of Spain'. The article added that there had been a 40% drop in the calls for Apartments from the British sector that generally paid 10% less this year for the same apartment than in 2005. These figures were also borne out by a recent Bank of Spain study that showed that foreigners investing in housing in Spain fell by 15% last year.

A Valencian land story. Gandia
The contractors, after many false dawns, carved the road through our garden, Wednesday, they demolished hedges and walls and have now left themselves a major problem, because our water access point, where once was within our garden is now in the middle of the new road, such as it is.
A palm tree which we have nurtured from small to mature is about to be removed, it sits exactly on the new boundary, so rather than move the boundary over by one foot, as I asked, they prefer to remove it.
The view from our balcony is incredible, we look out on a scene of complete devastation. We have no security, we are at the mercy of anybody who would care to help themselves. If we had to make an insurance claim they would laugh. We have absolutely no privacy, we have temporary chicken wire divisions, mounted on concrete blocks, animals run freely in and out of our garden.
So far we have paid 1700 euros with a final bill of somewhere around 17000 euros, maybe more.
The completion date is October this year, if it were not so serious it would be laughable, not a cat in hells chance! There are only two men working, plus a hired excavator.
An urbanisation of 57 houses in the middle of the campo, with adequate existing tarmac roads, provided by ourselves, but now we have to have a network of roads joining the roads, for whatever reason, completely escapes me.
We await the arrival of the pipes to bring us drinking water from a non existent collector and to have our sewage piped away to a non existent sewage collector and then to have all electric and telephone cables buried alongside the pipes, all of which we have to pay for, when we already have electricity, telephone and water drawn from a subterranean lake.

Daily Mail. Wed.March 8.2006
Britons who own a place in the sun were warned yesterday that the boom times are over.
Holiday properties on the Mediterranean have ´the highest risk of price falls´ in Europe, according to a survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. About 260,000 Britons have bought a home overseas, including 70,000 in Spain - where prices have soared 120 per cent since 1998. But the RICS´s European housing survey said house price inflation in Spain is set to slow down ´significantly´. It blames the huge number of homes being built there.
The new property hotspot is Estonia, where prices soared 28 per cent last year.

SUPREME COURT DECISION
A decision handed down by the Supreme Court of the Valencian Community yesterday found against a decision made by Altea Town Council to expropriate land for a new N-332 bypass. The case had been brought by members of the Bloc, who considered that the Town Hall 'was overstepping the mark' of it sauthority by issuing the expropriation orders
ANOTHER INVESTIGATION
The special anti-corruption prosecutor has apparently also got his eyes fixed on Torrevieja as well as Orihuela. It was revealed yesterday that the building company Eden del Mar bought some land from Torrevieja Mayor Pedro Angel Hernandez Mateo for 5.6 million Euros when the same land had cost the Mayor some 180,000 Euros three years earlier. Equally, Eden del Mar is apparently intent on building a series of skyscrapers on the land and create some 7,000 new homes in the process. The Green Party of Torrevieja have now made an official complaint over the matter as Eden del Mar is the first company to benefit from the alterations in the town's new General Plan
GIVEN THE GO-AHEAD
The Conselleria for the Territory yesterday gave the go-ahead to Lliber to requalify some 384,354 square meters of land as buildable, which will result in an urbanization of some 300 homes, and more than double the local population. The project had been presented some five years ago, when the Partido Popular ruled the town, and the project now has to be approved by the Socialist Town Council.

MAYOR INDICTED
Felipe Briones, the Special anti-corruption prosecutor for Alicante, yesterday issued an indictment against Jose Manuel Medina, the Mayor of Orihuela, five of his councilors and several building companies, alleging that they were involved in over thirty cases of influence peddling and corruption. The indictments came after official complaints were lodged by the Town Auditor Jose Manuel Espinosa, as well as corroborating reports from Socialist spokesman Francisco Garcia and the spokesman for the Green Party, Monserrate Guillen.

A Valencian land problem......
Jacarilla
Between christmas and new year a Spanish man called at our door offering to buy some of our land. As it was not for sale, I realised straight away something was amiss. The following day I went to the Town Hall and made an appointment to see the town architect. Unfortunately the architect didn´t keep the first appointment, and I had to make a second.
When we finally met he told me verbally that there was a plan being processed through Valencia, which was about to be passed, to build one thousand bungalows all around our fully legal finca, which is situated currently in a very green area near to the village of Jacarilla. The architect was very offhand about it all, as if to say, ¨whats it got to do with you?¨ He would not allow us to see the plan or obtain a copy. All very secret service! I managed to obtain a copy though from the Spanish man who is interested in buying some of our land!
The town hall intend to take 50% of our property and charge us €70 per square metre for what they allow us to keep towards infrastructure costs. This means finding €140,000 to pay the town hall.
We lose out threefold.
1. We end up living on an urbanisation.
2. We pay €140,000 for something we already own.
3. We lose half our property.
And the really worrying thing is which half do they intend to take - the half with our home on?

On behalf of Veins de Parcent, I would like to thank all of you from Abusos Urbanisticos NO! who turned out to support our fight here in Parcent on Saturday. We were very happy with the number of peole who came - we reckoned about 3-400 for Parcent itself, from a population of 1000, and another 6-700 from around the Vall de Pop and further afield. It all passed off without incident and we were lucky to have the weather in our favour as well - the gods were smiling on us, if not the PP politicians!
It is sad when one realises just how wide-spread this sort of abuse is but one can draw strength from the success that your organisation has already had and, I am sure, will continue to have. When one meets people like David Hammerstein MEP, who arrived later, having been held up at Sevilla airport, one also realises that our fight has excellent backing at high levels where great pressure can effectively be put on the Valencian government. So all this gives one the enthusiasm to continue to put ones own little drop of protest into the larger barrel of protest, in the hope that one day it will overflow and wash away the wrongs being perpetrated in this beautiful Valencian Community and throughout Spain.
I would be grateful if you could pass this message on to all your members, to thank them for turning out on our behalf.

Stress and the LRAU
We must be fit to fight the land laws however many people are suffering from various stress related problems due to the worry of losing their homes, their land, their savings.
The AUN has an article on how to alleviate the stress (written by a psychologist who is himself affected by the LRAU/LUV land problems) which is available to anyone who wishes a copy.
If you would like to receive a copy of this document please contact mailmaster@abusos-no.org using ¨Stress Document¨ as the message heading.

FIGHT AND WRITE
This is an important notice from the AUN to all families in Valencia of all nationalities.
At the present time a vast majority of the inhabitants of the Valencian region are suffering from land problems, under threat of land problems or are worried about the damage to the environment caused by the land problems. It is therefore necessary and essential that every family living in Valencia voices their concerns by writing to various offices which are either helping in the fight or need to be advised of the land problems. So, please give copies of this letter to all your neighbours, friends and family for them to also write with their concerns even if they are not personally affected by LRAU/LUV.
If an office receives one letter regarding the land problems it could be dismissed as rubbish. If an office receives hundreds of letters relating to the LRAU it will realise that the law is wrong, that the law is abusive and that the law must be changed.
If we want the laws changed we must all fight. Each and every one of us must join in the battle and do our part. So please write. Fight and Write. If you do not know what to write the AUN offers a letter format which you can use. You can write one letter and copy it many times to the different offices.
A few minutes of your time could make all the difference and the struggle could be won sooner rather than later.

QUITE SIMPLY NO
The Environment Ministry in Madrid has issued an order preventing the construction of two tower blocks of 21 storeys each, a pool and underground parking in an area that was once occupied by the Coblanca 10 in the Benidorm area known as the Rincon de Loix. The decision was made after an official complaint against the project was made by Jose Luis Bravo, who lives near where the planned edifice is to be built by the Edificaciones Calpe company that is owned by Andres Ballester, who is also the President of the Theme Park Terra Mitica, and whose company had originally been given the go-ahead last April for the project. In this latest finding, the Environment Ministry stated that the project goes against the Spanish Coastal Laws that require that all buildings be at least 20 meters from the shoreline, but this building is between 7.8 meters and merely 60 centimeters from the sea.
