Quote: "If we all somehow work together then perhaps we can get somewhere. However, the same thought had occurred to me, as just voiced by Carick, i.e., is this something that should be pursued by the Presidents that are representing us? They look like a very swtched on set of individuals & they are doing a fantastic job already, (the new website is brilliant) & I fully appreciate that they are all volunteers & generously donating their time. I wouldn't want to step on any of their toes, and also if they are the voice of us all, will their efforts carry more weight? If we could forward Kenny's findings to them in due course, would this be the best way to take this forward or are individual letters more likely to have an impact?"

I am one of the Presidents (Phase5A) and don't believe you would be stepping on our toes by doing what you are doing. I am sure Margaret wouldn't have any objection to listening to your views face to face. I think it is important that we know what people are thinking. If I was on site myself at the same time I would happily be part of the meeting but I won't be out there until 16th Sept, leaving on 30th Sept. However, whilst I believe there is a lot that we as a committee can do to make life better for us on HR, and we have a lot of things on the go to this end at the moment, I think it should be understood that we are not in a position to make the council grant the licence to start building.
One of the people on my phase, who is Spanish and works for a bank on building assessments, and whose wife is a judge specialising in Town Planning, has investigated the planning application, which is with Murcia Town Hall. If I have understood what he is saying then Polaris made an application in 2005 and it stll hasn't been granted the licence to start building. I understand this is not unusual in Spain with such an old building as the Hacienda.
