Local television helps the campaign.

This week has been a busy one for the promotion of the Clean up the Costa campaign, with two local television companies inviting appearances on their programmes to outline the aims, history, and the future progress of the campaign.

On Wednesday 5th November 2008 (yesterday) I was invited again to take part in the Vega Life news programme on Canal Vega Television, an Orihuela based company, and given the opportunity to publicise the second Grand Clean-up that is happening on Wednesday 12th November at 10.00 am. The hour long programme is carried out in English.

Today (Thursday 6th November) VIVA TV recorded an interview about the campaign, for inclusion in the news programme due to be published on Friday 14th November at 6.15 pm. The location chosen for this (interview) was the massive Fly-tip site highlighted in the article 'Is this the largest Fly-tipping site in Orihuela Costa?' on this campaign Blog, and reported recently in the Local English Press (Round Town News and CoastRider).

These are two more opportunities to promote the work of the campaign, by bringing it to the attention of the viewers throughout the local and adjacent areas, including I’m sure Orihuela Town Council representatives or observers.

Hopefully this will add more pressure on the PP ruling party in the Ayuntamiento to honour it’s responsibilities towards tackling the major problems of fly-tipping sites and general litter left lying about in Orihuela Costa in particular, and in the Orihuela Municipality as a whole!
