We are moving house from Campoamor to Campo Verde and cannot find anyone who is willing to move us locally or to hire a van for one day. As this is happening within the next two weeks we are desperate. Can anyone help?

Like Ravenhill, we find that the only people who think the atmosphere on R3 has improved are those who won the vote not to prosecute the illegal builds. For the rest of us it seems, if anything, to have got worse. A once pleasant, residential community has degenerated into an "anything goes" holiday complex. Last week alone there was one party going on until 5.0 clock in the morning and, on another occasion, one that was still going on at 7.30 am. Long term residents are moving out and the whole place is turning into the R3 holiday resort. Although we voted for legal action, once the results were declared we decided to take it on the chin in the hope that those who had got their way would be magnanimous in victory and we could get back to some semblance of a community. Unfortunately, we have not seen any evidence that the campaign of intimidation is going to end any time soon. At the community day it was obvious that certain people did not want to mix with the rest of us and, even when we approached them in the spirit of reconcilliation, were made to feel that we were not wanted. Since then, other incidents have occured that reinforce this view. It is very sad, but we cannot see that there is any way back from what has become a huge void between the two camps. If anyone has any sensible suggestions as to how to move forward we would be delighted to hear them.

We were very interested to read Sping's posting but are curious to know where the information comes from. We have seen no documentary evidence to support the claim that the over and under builds have no detrimental effect on the rest of R3. Indeed, the opposite appears to be true if you read the report compiled by Fernando Campillo, Abogados. This states that no procedure has been started by the City Hall (page 19) and that the permitted building surface limitation of R3 has been surpassed (page 16). We would deduce by this that it impacts on all the properties as the maximun building surface has been surpassed (page 15),meaning, we assume, that all our deeds are now incorrect. If there is evidence to the contrary surely we should all be privy to this.

As to the cost of any lawsuit, the report gives an approximation of the cost as around E4,000 plus legal fees(page 44) which is significantly less than the E6,000 per property quoted by Sping. In fact, if you divide this amount by 72 (the number of properties less the empty ones and the ones in dispute) it works out at less than E60 each. A small price to pay for peace of mind.

In closing we would like to state categorically that no-one wants to take action just for the sake of it and certainly not to upset anyone. However, unless proof positive can be presented to disprove the findings of the report we have to accept and support it's findings.

We would like to voice our support for the email from Ravenhill. At last, the voice of reason! The few seem to be trying to enforce their will on the majority. This is not democracy ! They are taking the view that, if we disagree with them we are only doing it out of spite. This is not true. We are concerned about the community as a whole instead of siding with the bullies who are trying to bend us to their will. The vast majority of Play Golf III R3 just want to get things sorted out and back to normal. This is not going to happen while people are behaving like children instead of sitting down and talking to each other. In the adult world negotiation is the key to settlement. This means give and take on both sides but it can be done if people are willing. So come on, instead of wasting time trying to blame the problem on other people, let's get round a table and talk about it. Who knows, we might find a solution.
