Title: Bins are AWOL near Fosters
Post by: gaveteran on February 09, 2019, 21:45.: Hi all. I noticed today that the bins next to Fosters (GA Centre) are all missing, and the area cleaned up. There are what looks like "surveying markers" in their place. Any ideas? Start of the hotels? Where did those bins move to?

If I lived down there I’d be investing what I could do to challenge it.

Regards all

It's this sort of gossip that makes Spanish council members sound like lunatics, when in fact they are about the same as the English ones, just generally "useless".

"gaveteran" ….. the bins have now been moved to the side and behind Mercadona.

But more importantly there is signage around the perimeter stating AJ Hotels Gran Alacant. Maybe this is the beginning of the end for the long awaited hotel/golf course development.

Post by: Up the iron on February 20, 2019, 14:34.: I was in GA last week and whilst Mrs Iron was doing the big shop at Mercadona I visited the site in question.

The small building I believe is going to be the commentary box.

I also saw that some safety railing had been erected which I think will be at the tricky chicane or at the end of the pit lane.

Post by: wilson on February 22, 2019, 21:20.: The bins are nicely located next to mercadona, they are being well looked after so far, little opportunity to dump your palm trees or mattresses without being seen.
The big guns have arrived on site ie earth movers, whilst walking the dog i spoke with a guy who looked important as he had a theodolite, he seemed to suggest it was a forty room hotel or maybe 400 as my Spanish couldnt keep up. He also seemed to imply it would be finished by July though he didnt say which year.
