Alicante Airport AVE Proposal Turned Down

Wednesday 19 November 2008 @ 12:00 pm

Alicante and Elche councils made a proposal to the government that they should have an AVE train station at the airport .

This has been turned down by the public works minister and also her counterpart in Valencia .

The argument is that changing the plans now would delay the project by up to five years . Every aspect of a new development would need to be followed through once again .

The AVE is going directly to Alicante City and the local public works councillor is not going to debate the matter further .

However others in the commercial sector have backed the proposal and say that the station is not due in Alicante until 2015 so there is plenty of time to make adjustments .

Busot Homeowner Fights Council

Tuesday 18 November 2008 @ 11:51 am

When you purchase a home and land in good faith , thinking that you have dotted the “i’s ” and crossed  the ” t’s “then it comes as something of a shock to find that everything has gone pear -shaped .

A woman in Busot is in such a situation because those in authority fail to communicate correctly and also change the goal posts constantly .

Suddenly she is unable to sell her land , although she had a buyer and now that same land could be expropriated by the end of next month .

This sort of thing leaves one open mouthed and also totally unable to comprehend the systems which exist in the  country you have come to admire in many other ways .

She can only hope that the law will see the inequity of the sitution and favour her rights .
