Hacienda Riquelme 2014 April Resort Newsfeed

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.

Regards

Ron"

Committee March Agreement:

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!!!!!!!

Sports Area Health & Safety

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.................
