Whether you agree or disagree with the introduction of the summer fun fair I would suggest that it raises greater issues of which we all should be concerned about.
Who has sanctioned it ? Who knew about it ? Why was it not considered with reference to residents? Is it entirely inkeeping with the needs of Condado bearing in mind that Condado is not a town or village where a passing fair would set up for a matter of weeks before moving on ?
It is all the more concerning that the businesses of Al Kasar did not know until the last minute and appear to have acted as best they could to limit the scope (food/alcohol) of the 'offerings' .
There is a thread on the La Isla forum which is almost painful to read. The residents (understandably) and particularly new buyers are incensed at the development and the positioning of the attraction.
As I said at the start of this post, this is not about whether you agree or disagree wth the funfair. This is more about a very dangerous precedent being set. There are large swathes of vacant land immediately adjacent to all our apartments and now, in the absence of the Paramount (promised) development, goodness knows what anyone of us might wake up to in our eyeline and earshot. If this can be allowed without general discussion and common agreement then who knows what could happen next.
For what it's worth I believe that serious questions should be asked.
