I know there will be people who,when they read this will say that it comes with the territory, but I disagree.
Last night, I was out with my wife at a local bar, when I was approached by a woman who resides in El Oasis. Obviously fueled by the silly sauce, she started complaining about the state of Oasis. I tried to explain to her that I was well aware of the situation but she went so far as to threaten the Government Team, by saying that she would orchestrate a campaign, to have all of us ousted at the next Election. I suggested that this was neither the time or place to discuss such matters and that she should come to my office. It was then that the silly sauce really took over and after a few swear words from this woman, my wife asked her to leave us alone. Unfortunately this fell on ignorant ears. I again tried to say to her that she should call in at my office during office hours and her complaint would be addressed. No joy. My wife was so disgusted by this intrusion, she had to go outside. I decided, as this woman had totally ruined my evening and my wife's, I had no option but to leave.
I do not mind dealing with urgent matters, like when someone comes to my door or telephones me at the weekend, but I do not appreciate my private and leisure time being disrupted by selfish individuals. Please respect my Privacy.

.Jeff it is a shame that yourself and your wife cannot enjoy your leisure time without being attacked by loud mouthed people. Unfortunately these people are everywhere. The sad part about it is, if you retaliated by being rude, they would complain about that. But, this is what they deserve. I am sure most people in La Marina appreciate that you are doing your best and cannot change things in 5 mins. Keep up the good work because, at the end of the day, you are a human being and can only do your best. You cannot please all of the people all of the time.

Unfortunately for both you and your good lady you cannot legislate for the ignoramuses that would spoil what little time you get to go out and enjoy yourselves. There is a time and place for everything and on a night out with your wife and or friends is certainly not the time.
I would suggest if the person involved could make it all the way up from Oasis area to where I assume you were having a night out she could have made it all the way up to the office on Friday during hours or waited till Monday. The Urbanisation is a relatively close knit area and as such whether you are a bar owner a businessman or a councillor common decency dictates that we all show some decency and decorum.
I sign of saying I did not vote for Jeff but I was impressed by the work he and this whole community done over recent weeks and hope the good work continues. I for one enjoyed the tree this year, donated to the needy, bought a few baubles, and the foundations for a multinational Christmas & New Year have been laid.

Jeff, I can readilly understand you being annoyed and I sympathise, but Some people here on Oasis are very frustrated. We pay our Suma but we're wrecking our cars driving on very substandard roads. What can we do to get what we're paying for, ie, street cleaning and roads that are fit to use? Can you give us any hope?. We live down on the Palmeral so it's only going to and from La Marina that involves us but we do curse the roads, and the council. What about people, some wanting , some needing to sell their houses. The roads are a disgrace which must reduce the value of the homes. Nobody seems to take responsibility for us. Jeff, do you know of any solution? Our friends live in Catral and Amoradi and it's easier to do our shopping there as the roads are great but our loyalty is to La Marina. I always whinge that if you don't support local shops don't moan when you lose them. We've been here 4 years and love it but the roads are a problem. Can you see any solution Jefff. I'm needing to buy a mobility scooter and I dread to think what driving on these roads will be like.
