Rock Festival

I owe the people who read this blog, an apology. I previously stated that the costs for the above Festival was to my knowledge, €9000 or there abouts. This was the figure that was known to me about a month ago. Since then I had to return to the UK on family business. Since then I learned that the venue had been changed from the Oasis Park to the Market Place. Today I asked the councillor for youth activities and tourism, Borja Alonso if he had an up to date figure on costs for the festival. He confirmed that it was now around €18,000, although he stated that the bar had agreed to augment some of the expenses. Again, I apologise if I have mislead any of the readers of my blog. I also apologise to the person who wrote on the other forum, they obviously had a more up to date figure of the costs than I. I would again like to say that if anyone has a comments on the above subject, they can do so through the Facebook accounts of the Town Hall or Rock Arena, San Ful.

Rock Festival La Marina

With regards to the above Post, this Concert is the brainchild of the Councillor for Youth and Tourism, Borja. All advertising has been done through his department. As far as final costings for this event, I believe that it will be around €8000/€9000, and not the vastly inflated figure suggested on another forum. Anyone who wishes further information on this event should contact the Councillor direct or look at the Facebook page, Rock Arena, San Fulgencio. Also there are links on the Town Hall web site and Facebook. The concert will take place in the Market Place on the 7th of July There are six bands, who are apparently well known in Spain. The bar Dos Mas will apparently set up an outside bar at the location. I will be assisting with suggestions for Security and Safety issues.

Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

I have published a letter of reply from Buckinham Palace for all the residents of our area to read.
For those that do not yet know, there will be a Street Party for all, on the 3rd of June on Plaza Sierra Castilla ( the area in front of Dos Mas and Super Valu ) from 2pm until midnight, with entertainment and a big screen, to give live coverage of the Queen´s procession in the Royal Barges, down the River Thames.
It is hoped that as many people as possible attend and get into the spirit of the day, by dressing in Ancient and Modern costume, depicting the history of Britain and the Commonwealth.

Parking in your own Driveway

For those who have asked about the above theme, At this moment I have heard nothing either from the Police our the Town Hall´s Technico Dept regarding this. I am having a meeting with the Mayor this morning and I will bring it up at the meeting.. I do know that residents who are having problems with persons parking accross their driveways, particularly on market days, can apply for a Vado, which prohibits the parking in front of their driveway. There is a cost involved and with administration charges it can cost as much as €250

Residencia Cards/Paper

With regards to the enquiry regarding Residencia Cards. The change, according to Madrid, is so that the green paper Residencia form will be replaced by a more convenient format, with the new Residencia card. The green paper copy will remain valid as there are no plans to have them replaced, the new card is only for new applicants. The application is pretty much the same as before.
In the past the authorities did not bother too much about proof of income, i.e,. being able to support oneself without being a burden on the state. Now, due to a tightening up of the legislation, it will be necessary to provide bank statements or reciepts for your pensions. For those who do not have an income, they will have to prove that they either have sufficient funds, a contract of employment or a sponsor, who will support the individual until they are self sufficient financially. This Card will not be considered Identification as it will not have a photo on it. Remember without a Residencia you cannot obtain a a Padron Cert.
