The State of GA
« on: August 01, 2016, 01:00. »
Is it me or has any one else noticed the Decline in Services in GA since the new Council took over

We have lost our direct Councilor for the Area,
The place is looking tired and Rundown, Police Patrols seem to have been cut.
The New Medical Center and School seems to have gone on the Back burner.

Are we becoming the Cash Cow for Santa Pola, ? 

Much the same way La Marina is to the little village controlling it, or Orihuelea Costa is to Orihuhela City.

One do's wonder. !!!!!

Some time ago some one said should GA go independent from Santa Pola,
Perhaps its coming to the time this should be looked at again !!!!

Yes things have got worse. I hope all of those who voted the PP Party and Loreto out, are happy with the outcome.

There may have been lots of photo calls when the PP Party were in, but they showed all that was being done for us.

Well done all those that voted for a change.

So, what's got worse?
What changes do we need to brace ourselves for when we come out in September?
Have property prices tumbled as a result of these changes?
Is it time to sell up and move on?
Has the GA Advertiser ran an article on the worsening state of GA?
.....or am I panicking unduly

Regards all

John

Was out two weeks ago and was surprised how many police were about. Even the bus we were on to Santa Pola was stopped by the police. Dident notice any standard drops at all.

You tend to see more rubbish piling high by the bins when the population is increased and we often see people throwing rubbish from cars next to the bin (usually it is hanging on the wing mirror).  In my opinion the mess is down to individuals!

I think your observations were noted by many locals which resulted in complaints to the local council, in particular, Santa Pola residents not happy with the level of cleanliness:

Just to point out that Santa Pola complaining about a decline in services is the very opposite of what Barry suggested.

Which is why I made reference to Ray's 'original' posting and start of this thread.  Barry living and loving GA should have started in a new thread, maybe entitled 'The Life of Barry'. The other post by Barry maybe should have been under a post about Party Political Broadcasts.  I made reference to Ray's concerns!

We've been here 24 hours and everything looks OK to us
Listening to what the neighbours have had to say about how busy it was in August it seems like the rental industry is in good health.
