The Residents on Calle Antillas in Las Filipinas East might have been forgiven in thinking that as the name of their road suggests they would be looking at beautiful scenery from their properties. How wrong could they be, it certainly isn't anything like the West Indies or the Philippines!
Today (20th October 2008) I visited the road at the request of a Resident to look at the two problems suffered by the householders. Not only do they have to put up with enormous quantities of Fly-tipped builders rubbish but also a rotting mountain of garden and other rubbish. Both types have been there for sometime and are continually being added to.
One could try to say that the garden rubbish is just part of the normal daily tipping by local residents, but no, there is far too much for that. There would appear to be a deliberate dumping of waste in this road, possibly by gardening companies with rubbish not from this area, and a failure by Colsur (the current refuse handling company employed by the Council) to remove it. The Council must deal with the Fly-tipped building rubbish direct as Colsur do not have to and therefore will not deal with this problem.
The situation that the Residents have to live with daily is totally unacceptable. The Council have failed in their responsibility to keep the street and green area in this locality of Orihuela Costa clean.
The information and photographs will be forwarded to Councillor Aniorte with a request for immediate action to clean up this road in the fight to Clean up the Costa. There cannot be any excuse for this rubbish to remain there any longer, as the Council now have the necessary Bye-law to deal with any rubbish on private land, an excuse given for non-action on their part in the past.
