In answer to popins this all started because someone posted about forming a residents association.  As regards to the flooding you could get off the site approximately an hour and an hour and a half after the rain had stopped because we drove out in the evening.  As regards to electric, although there were power cuts, but the longest that it lasted was no more than 30 to 45 minutes; this is the responsibility of Iberdrola. As regards to underbuilds being flooded, that is because some of the outside walls have been left with big holes under the soil surface and also where the garden level is too high and more or less level with the windows to the underbuilds.  As to the bottom two roads on site, the water level was not more than one foot deep, not to the car roofs, repeat not. There are photographs to prove this.  As regards the bar, we have been in there many times when they have had no beer and this was not caused by the amount of water. Are you aware that a new road is being built to bypass the ramblas which floods in heavy rain.  I am sure that Masa must have budgeted for this.  As regards to the pool bar, are you aware that this bar is only seasonal and is closed for the winter and would therefore be impossible to have a micro shop there. More importantly, we need to ensure that the emergency services know where Sierra Golf is and also some form of road signs.  It also advisable not to call any meetings over the internet. This is done by printing leaflets in spanish and english and distributed to all properties, except the empty ones.  Are you also aware that Masa are installing four new drains in the bottom two roads on site, but it is debatable whether this will cure the problem as when we get the rains, one of the bottom roads is a running river of yellow sand which washes off the green area and the social areas which blocks the drains and the water drains off very slowly.
