Feral Cats

It has come to my attention that some people who live in our Municipality are up in arms about the alleged cull of feral cats in Guardamar. They are obviously afraid that this Town Hall, may adopt a similar policy.
Let me assure everyone that we have no plans to instigate any such policy. I have spoken to members of the local charities and we do not have a problem with feral cats. Many of the feral cats in our area have been trapped and neutered. Volunteers do go out and feed them and in general terms, thanks to the charities and volunteers, our own feral cats are not a major problem. We must be vigilant though. We do not want people from outside our Municipality, dumping cats or dogs in our area. I would also like to urge the residents of our community to continue supporting the animal charities to ensure that we can continue to keep the situation at a manageable level.

August Fiesta La marina.

I regret to say that there has been a delay in getting information out to the public as to who will be performing at this years fiesta. Due to the cost involved it has to go before a committee ( Junta de Gobierno ) and a tender process is used to select the company that will put it on. The three main companies that submitted tenders failed to submit the correct paperwork and they had to re submit, twice.
Hopefully the paperwork is now in order and we will have a decision today. We cannot divulge who is performing until this final decision is made. On a previous occasion, when the information was released before the final stage was completed, the opposition parties tried to imply that the selection of the company used for the fiesta, was pre ordained.
We have the printers on hold as well as the preferred acts,
 so please be patient and hopefully all will be revealed next week.
