Los Verdes report the PP & PAU 26 Illegal Tip to the Anti Corruption Prosecutor

Since September 2007, the Los Verdes Party within the Orihuela Town Council has regularly denounced the presence and use of the Illegal Rubbish Tip located within the PAU 26 Green Zone, to the inactive PP governing party.

Although in the first place, in a letter dated 25^th September 2007 and signed by the Councillor for Infrastructure, Sr Manuel Abadia Martinez, the PP acknowledged the existence of the illegal tip, stated that the rubbish would be removed and the Green Zone returned to its natural condition, the undertakings given have not been completed. The PP has failed to take action on the proposals put to Los Verdes within the letter.

Los Verdes has submitted applications, motions, and other initiatives in various sessions of the Pleno (Council Meeting), which the PP have rejected with different reasons being given; always strange such as that the Green Zone is not within the PAU 26 sector, when in the letter mentioned the Councillor confirmed the location and the Company carrying out the tipping at the site. The PP has failed to deal with the situation of the continual illegal tipping at this site. It is benefiting Colsur S.L. the company currently collecting the rubbish from Orihuela Costa without having a contract, and with the warnings, month to month of the general auditing by the Orihuela Council about the irregularities of the payments to the Company.

After all this time and due to the refusal of the PP to address this issue and stop the illegal tipping at this site, the Municipal Group of Los Verdes in the Orihuela Council decided to bring this issue before the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor of Alicante, in order that it can take appropriate decisions on the matter. Currently, we are waiting for the relevant answer from the Prosecutor’s office, with the intention that these actions solve this and other problems of rubbish in Orihuela Costa and the rest of the municipality.
