2015 Election....

The 2015 local council elections are fast approaching, as of yet candidates for governing positions have not been released. It is rumoured they will be released late February / March time. 90% of us will already have inkling who will run for and what they will run for.
If anyone can elaborate on the number of councillors that can be elected, please do so.
The 2015 Election should not be taken lightly, with official numbers dwindling on the Urb surely this election must be run on "What can be done in the near future" not, lets see where we are 4 years from 2015.
The past two elections have been heavily based on, Oasis roads, animals, the mess of the Urb.
The 2015 elections need to concentrate on more of a community basis, more amenities, more access to people needing help, more activities to be held at the local community centre for all age groups.
Oasis saga looks like coming to a end, there a more than enough animal charities on the urb to deal with the animal problems, though it looks highly likely a ex councillor will play on the animal card, more amenities, means more people.
The noise problem seems to have died down, along with the heat, as one local member points out, the noise issue is always summer related.
2015 Election will see the PP, PSOE, PIPN, APSFU fight it out again, in all probability it will be another joint coalition between the PP / PIPN.

Every vote matters, make it a priority to make sure you are eligible to vote.


Alan, the two past elections i have voted for two different groups, neither have really for filled there promises.
We live and learn.
There is a rumour circulating, that this current council passed a by-law regarding electing council officials to office.
A couple of years ago Mark Lewis was accused and charged with pushing a lady over, assault.
This coalition passed a by-law that anyone charged, could not run for any political positions.
This is just a rumour, only certain people can confirm this, the coalition or Mark Lewis.

Anyone have any idea what number Sam will be allocated or is it just a gesture.

Would this also include Jeff or did he not get charged for sexual harassment?

I wasn't going to mention the dreaded name but Jeff was accused of harassment, but 'accused' and 'found guilty' are two different things, you will also find others on the Council and also on the 'opposition '. have also been accused of differing things, I don't think any of them have been found guilty of any of the charges.
I did write all this in a previous comment but for some petty reason (apparently mentioning Jeff) my comment was then deleted

At the present time we are not permitted to either release the list of candidates or the order for the forthcoming elections. However, I will say that I will be standing at Jeff´s side as a potential councillor if the residents and members of the Party so wish.

With regard to the charges of sexual harassment: Jeff was never called to even give a statement to the Guardia Civil or the courts as the statements from witnesses did not substantiate the allegations. However, to my knowledge, Jeff has denounced the accuser and her brother through the courts in Torrevieja.

If anyone wishes any more information, please feel free to contact us.
