It is very pleasing to see, that as a direct result of the assistance that Los Verdes Councillor Monserrate Guillén has given to the Owners and Managers of the Celtic Isle in Playa Flamenca, that they have been able to restart the Wednesday Car Boot Sale from the 24th September 2008. Unfortunately this means that the fortnightly Los Verdes surgeries with Clr. Guillén will not be able to be held

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.

I posted a copy of the article ‘LOS VERDES First Surgery in Orihuela Costa is a Success!’ onto the forum on the torrevieja.co.uk website and received the following comment from a contributor to the site. “I happen to support CLARO, but appreciate the good work Los Verdes are trying to achieve.

Today saw the first LOS VERDES Surgery to be held in Orihuela Costa and all those Residents who had a face to face meeting with Monserrate Guillén, LOS VERDES Councillor for the Coast, commented that they felt their meeting to be most useful.

Los Verdes of Orihuela do not consider that the installation of an elevator within the Punta Prima playa is the most cost effective way of giving access to the beach to those visitors that have mobility problems.

Letter to CLARO members & supporters.“Orihuela Costa remains unrepresented in the new Town Hall”, and “It is incomprehensible that an area with 30% of the registered population does not elect a single counsellor to represent the interests of the people living here”, are misleading statements by the leaders of CLARO that have appeared in past editions of the party’s newsletter.

I would like to clarify how the Los Verdes Surgeries in Orihuela Costa will be organised as there appears to be some confusion amongst residents. The Surgery is open to any resident who lives within the Orihuela Municipality, irrespective of which party they support, but we would hope to give priority to those living in Orihuela Costa. It will be an opportunity for a resident, or

On the 5th May 2008 Los Verdes de Orihuela launched a campaign to bring to the attention of the Council the poor condition of the parks and gardens within the Orihuela Municipality.
