Hi everyone! This is my first post on the forum... Many of you will be aware of the new walkway for the paragliders up at the top next to the Olivo De Oro/Brisas Del Faro Community. But how many of you are aware of the fact that a new wall is under construction which will reduce the paragliders' site by more than half? This has been instigated by the President & Board of the Olivo De Oro/Brisas Del Faro Community who own that particular area of land. Their aim is to separate community land from public land mainly because they have a personal grudge against the paragliders.
You may well be surprised to learn that my husband & I have owned a house within the Olivo De Oro/Brisas Del Faro Community for over 10 years and we, along with many other owners are totally against such an unnecessary action. On the contrary, we are aware that paragliding has been practised on that site for almost 30 years. As, like many of you, we love to watch them soaring across the cliff tops...
It is not known for certain but we stro[/img]ngly suspect that planning permission for the wall has not been given by the Town Hall. Even if it has been granted, why oh why would the Town Hall approve of this when they have invested so much money in the building of a new walkway for the paragliders? Surely paragliding is one of Santa Pola's/ Gran Alacant's tourist attractions?
If you'd like to see what's happening at the site then take the train! The nearest stop is at El Faro, stop No 12.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! This photo shows where the wall is to be built! Please feel free to tell your friends... we need your support!
