PP and PVRE make coalition pact
Sunday, 20 May 2012

The Partido Popular and the Partido Vecinal Regionalista yesterday announced that they have made a pact which will grant a majority to the PP in Chiclana and also herald "a new phase of calm" according to the mayor, Ernesto Marin (PP). The new pact between the two parties will see the PP - which already has 11 seats on the town council - strengthened further by the two members of the PVRE. The latter party is a recent creation which has been defending the owners of illegal houses since entering the political panorama at the last local elections.

 
People must arm themselves with information from the town hall to avoid a nasty shock later
Saturday, 19 May 2012

NunezThese are the words of Chiclana town planning delegate, Andrés Núñez, in reaction to the recent arrests made in the town due to an alleged building scam. Núñez (PP) added that he thought it was "sad that Chiclana appeared in the press time and time again because of illegal building. At present as much as half the land in Chiclana does not figure within the town plan. Amongst the nine areas of the town which are subject to possible legalisation, an estimated area of 20 million square metres of land is ´on the edge´ of the town plan with no definitive classification. In Núñez´s opinion, "Chiclana must surely be the town with the highest number of illegal houses in Andalucia."

This is especially true of British newspapers with a large readership like The Daily Mail and The Guardian. To this end, Chiclana Council, in collaboration with a hotel chain, is planning an event known as ´Fam Trip´ which will take place later this month.

This meant that the house could not be entered into the Land Registry. The trial is set to take place next Thursday in the high court (Audiencia).
