Knock it down..............build it up.........

El Presidente and Moi are VERY confused.
After the recent rain which flooded our garage area ( yet AGAIN ) and necessitated the turning off of the lifts, we were told by the Town Hall that the builder ( who had exasperated the flooding problem by building a wall directly in the path of the water flow ) had to knock down the remaining amount of wall to ensure the flow DID NOT go into our garages.
This morning ( in fact, RIGHT NOW ) there are FOUR men from the builders BRICKING UP THE SPACE ALTOGETHER !!!!!!
They tell us that the work is on the orders of the TOWN HALL.
El Presidente is now at the Town Hall having first informed the Administrator of what's happening and I am typing with steam coming out of my ears and a totally addled brain..............................................................................................
EDITED TO ADD..................El Presidente is back from Town Hall.................apparently the instruction to re build the wall came from the 'promoter' ( NO we don't know who it is ) and representation has been made to the Mayor regarding the wall ( by the 'promoter' ) and the wall has to be re built and the TOWN Hall can do NOTHING. Rosa, chief engineer at the Town hall ) is fuming but cannot countermand this.
The pathway for the drain which will stop the problem ( El Presidente has a copy ) has been put forward for approaval but work will not begin until the end of the summer.
It seems the only way we can stop the flooding temporarily is to build our own wall on top of the ramp which will curtail access to the perimeter road and El Presidente has not wanted to do that. BUT that seems to be the only option. Rosa has said we do not need a license for that and if anyone raises objection refer them to her at the Town Hall.
