i saw the childrens signs that Tinasolera refers to and though they were sweet i don´t think they made any difference, i also saw the other bi-lingual signs and indeed they didn´t last very long, they didn´t make any difference either,

little wonder as one of the recent community appointees owns the most vicious dog on hacienda which is allowed to roam everywhere and empty itself as it pleases, where it pleases, i have seen this dog attack numerous people and it´s owners give no more than the "infamous shrug" when challenged about it

there are a number of dogs allowed to roam, unleashed and unmarshalled but none of this surprises me as hacienda has a number of irresponsible people of all nationalities, let alone dogs owners, who have no pride in their surroundings

the use of litter bins for household refuse, the laying of bin liners of rubbish alongside bins, the amount of broken glass around the bins and elsewhere, the manner in which certain owners drive around the place both in the incorrect direction and at high speeds, people parking causing obvious obstruction to others, people singing and shouting late in the night on their way home from wherever, chewing gum and tab ends and various types of litter wherever,

dog crap is only one of the issues,

however, i do think that there are enough decent people here of a common mind to ensure that this type of behavior does not become the norm

what we need is some form of legitimate community action where the majority view will prevail

Quite frankly I think there are far too many busybodies scaremongering and whipping everyone into a frenzy!

This is the first post I have felt compelled to post.  I really feel for all the people who don´t live here and are sitting at home in dreary Old Blighty sweating about what may or may not come to pass.

Having lived in Spain for some years myself my advice is to use an independant solicitor and a reputable bank, both of which should, when possible come on recommendation.

Taray are a very reputable builder and one is probably onto a safer bet with them.  I have a mortgage on my property here too.
