Praise Indeed... and some friendly advice to those who just love to critisize

I want to take the time out to say a big 'thank you' to Paulino Herrero. Whenever I, or any of our neighbours have had a question to ask, a problem to solve or an idea to share you have always been available to us; either directly at your office or via a telephone call. We have never needed to book an appointment or found you difficult to contact or see in person. Our bins are emptied every day (with the exception of Saturday - which is normal), the street trees have been trimmed and the debris cleared away, the weeds have been taken up and not so long ago the vehicle came around to spray the drains for cockroaches. In fact the street cleaner is out and about at this very moment cleaning our street while I'm typing this message. A few days ago our street lights were off, but as soon as we contacted you the problem was resolved on the same day! To be honest I get thoroughly fed up of reading all the negative jibes and posts from people who seem to fall into two specific categories; a) Those who just seem to live from behind their laptops gleaning 'gossip' and 'hearsay' without ever actually verifying anything factual before regurgitating out that same old 'gossip' and 'hearsay' or b) those who utilise the forum as a platform to throw 'out there' as much mud and negativity that they possibly can against the PP party, in the hope that some of it just might stick. It appears to me that both categories seem to latch onto ANY nugget of untruth, part truth or anything in between! and feel the need to just 'throw it out there...' in the hope that some negative damage will be done (presumably to the PP or more personally to Paulino?) and that 'miraculously' people will 'see the light'. Well folks... I for one do see the light... I see a bunch of bitter, resentful, narrow minded and gossiping people, whose rants, whining, moans and groans have lost all credibility and meaning. Your input is depleted of anything remotely constructive, it has become boring and repetitive. Zzzzz. Any level-headed unbiased person i.e. towards any particular party or persons (but is pro La Marina) can see the transparency of where your negative intentions are coming from. Here's a suggestion for the future... If you've got a specific problem and/or a suggestion that requires the councils input, then pick up your phone and contact them directly. And what about this one!!... get up from behind your laptops and visit the council office, where I'm sure you'll find Paulino Herrero, and you can talk with him face to face. Oooh what about this idea... be part of the solution rather than the problem. You know... where you offer something positive and constructive, a win win for the community. Hmmm...not really for you? I'm guessing NOT. I mean where's the vindictiveness that? Crikey I can be such kill joy at times!
Quiero tomar el tiempo para decir 'gracias' a Paulino Herrero. Cada vez que yo, o cualquiera de nuestros vecinos hemos tenido una pregunta, un problema a resolver o una idea para compartirlo han sido siempre disponible para nosotros; ya sea directamente en su oficina o a través de una llamada telefónica. Nunca hemos necesitado reservar una cita o le costó ponerse en contacto o ver en persona. Nuestros contenedores se vacían todos los días (excepto el sábado - que es normal), los árboles de calles han sido cortados y la ruina despejada lejos, las malezas han tomado y no hace mucho tiempo el vehículo vino alrededor para rociar los desagües para las cucarachas. De hecho la calle limpiador es fuera de casa en este momento limpieza nuestra calle mientras yo estoy escribiendo este mensaje. Hace unos días nuestras luces de la calle estaban apagados, pero tan pronto como te contactamos el problema fue resuelto en el mismo día! Para ser honesto sale completamente harto de leer todos los negativos burlas y entradas de personas que parecen caer en dos categorías específicas; partido de un) quienes sólo parecen vivir detrás de sus portátiles de espigueo 'chismes' y 'rumores' sin siempre realmente comprobar todo hecho antes de regurgitar hacia fuera eso mismo viejo 'chismes' y 'rumores' o b) aquéllos que utilizan el foro como una plataforma para lanzar 'por ahí' tanto barro y negatividad que posiblemente puedan contra el PP, con la esperanza de que algunas de ellas sólo pueden pegar. A mí me parece que ambas categorías parecen trabar sobre cualquier pepita de mentira, verdad parte o nada en el medio! y siente la necesidad de simplemente 'tirarlo por ahí...' con la esperanza de que hará algún daño negativo (probablemente el PP o más personalmente a Paulino?) y que 'milagrosamente' de la gente a ver la luz. Bueno gente... Para uno ver la luz... Veo un montón de amargo, resentido, estrechos de mente y chusmear personas, cuyos desvaríos, quejas, lamentos y gemidos han perdido toda credibilidad y significado. Su entrada está agotada de cualquier cosa remotamente constructiva, que se ha vuelto aburrido y repetitivo. Zzzzz. Cualquier persona imparcial sensato, es decir, hacia personas ni partido en particular (pero es pro La Marina) puede ver la transparencia de donde vienen tus intenciones negativas. Aquí está una sugerencia para el futuro... Si tienes un problema específico o una sugerencia que requiere la entrada de los consejos, luego recoger el teléfono y en contacto con ellos directamente. ¿Y qué pasa con éste!! ... levantarse detrás de sus ordenadores portátiles y visitar la oficina del Consejo, donde estoy seguro encontrarás Paulino Herrero, y usted puede hablar con él cara a cara. Oooh lo que sobre esta idea... ser parte de la solución en lugar del problema. Sabes... donde ofrece algo positivo y constructivo, un ganar ganar para la comunidad. Hmmm... ¿no es realmente para usted? Supongo que no. ¿Me refiero de donde la venganza que? Crikey puedo ser tal alegría de matar!

I can see by your posts that you believe that Paulino is a man who tells no lies..... is this the same man who just before the election told us that the roads in Oasis would be tarmacked and the road rollers were in the are waiting to go....... Oh election over and NOTHING has been done. this is only one of the reasons you cannot believe what the man says. I have been and seen him and Yes after my visit the bins are at present being emptied daily. But I had times and photos. Also Pot holes, after seeing him I am going to give him a list of holes on the Urb, he says he will get them repaired in 7 days of me giving him the list. So time will tell.

In reply to your comment.
You obviously don't live on Calle Paris,
As although the bins have just been emptied,
I haven't seen any sign of
1. Road sweeper,or his little helper
2, as for weeds there has been weeds and grass growing around the bin area for at least 5 years,and the street weeds just keep coming,
I would like to know where they source their weed killed as it would help my plants grow!!!

Sonrisa, If issues are not brought out into the open, then it's easy to forget about them. I remember the comments about the oasis area and can't believe the equipment that was waiting to start work has not finished. At least the council has been shown to say anything to anyone, that would keep them in power.
