Matters
Arising:
Street Lighting:
Masa have stated that a new power station is being built by Iberdrola
to serve Camposol and surrounding areas. It is expected that this
will be in place by the end of September when street lighting
problems on Camposol will be alleviated.
Carried Forward.
The Mayor requested a copy of the survey of Street Lighting problem
areas carried out by the CRA. It was agreed a second survey will
be carried out to clarify the current situation.
ACTION: Mary & Barry Cooper to co-ordinate
Subsidence D7:
A meeting is with Masa is planned for 6th September, this meeting
will have a one item agenda which will be progress on subsidence
problems on D7.
The CRA will also follow up with Garrigues on progress of the
survey requested by them to the Sociadad de Agua
Carried Forward
Alternative Access to Camposol:
Access into Camposol and exit to the new motorway were discussed,
concerns have been raised that the road shown on published motorway
plans to take traffic ‘off’ Camposol has been omitted.
Currently ‘off’ traffic is being routed in front of
B Sector Commercial Centre, no explanation of why this has happened
has been forthcoming and nothing has been published of any future
alternative plans.
The road leading from the motorway at the back of the commercial
centre is ‘One Way’ routing incoming traffic to the
dual Carriageway, however many motorists are ignoring ‘No
Entry’ signs at this point therefore increasing the already
dangerous situation for traffic leaving Camposol and pedestrians
using the B Sector Commercial Centre.
Illegal parking on the road in front of the B Sector Commercial
Centre is also a cause for concern.
Action: Roy Pugh to compose a urgent letter to the Mayor on this
subject, Irache Merino to interpret the letter into Spanish.
Ambulance Station:
No further progress. Carried forward to next meeting with the
Mayor

of open areas – What is Planned for Camposol?
No further progress. Carried forward to next meeting with the

has to be researched and a report produced for Mazarron Town Hall
to explain how this can legally be done. It has been agreed by
the committee, that this would be the next piece of work undertaken
by the CRA Lawyers Garrigues.
Carried forward to the next meeting with Joaquin Ataz Ruiz, Garrigues

(Please Note: This meeting has nothing to do with the CRA)
It has come to our notice that a meeting has been called for residents

Mazarron
Town Hall Web Site:
The CRA have been invited to post news items on the Mazarron Town
Hall Web Site. The Chair stated that he was not sure what ‘news’
items were expected, it as agreed by the committee it was necessary
to discuss this subject further in the next meeting with the Mayor’
Carried Forward to next meeting with the Mayor
Brought Forward A.O.B from 22nd meeting
It has come to the attention of the committee that two people
registered with the CRA have criticised the activities of the
committee and accused them of bringing the CRA into debt.
There were concerns raised that these criticisms were not in fact
put to the committee but were voiced elsewhere.
The committee felt that they should have the opportunity to defend
themselves against these accusations and agreed, with one abstention,
that an invitation should be extended to those concerned to come
forward and talk to us.
Mary Cooper presented a draft letter to the committee who agreed
the content with 1 amendment.
Action: Mary Cooper to make amendment and post letter to recipients
A.O.B
Brian Tokely reported that he had been requested by Jaqueline
Galvez to clarify the position regarding Post Boxes for Sectors
B, C & D.
It appears that confusion has arisen between Masa and the Town
Hall reference the requirements put forward to each party by the
CRA.
Brian said clarification is required as to whether the requirement
is for one building to house post boxes for ALL sectors or a separate
building for each one.
The Committee stated that the original request put forward to
both parties by the CRA asked for separate buildings to be provided,
one for each sector, similar to that which has been provided for
sector A .
It was also stressed, that Brian should make it clear to the Town
Hall, that ANY postal system that is supplied must be the responsibility
of and the service provided officially by the Correos from a purpose
built office situated on Camposol.
Action: Brian Tokely to relay this information to Jaqueline Galvez
on behalf of the CRA Committee
There being no other business the meeting closed at 16:00hrs.
Date
of Next Meeting:
Tuesday 25th September at 14:00hrs, Venue Neptuno 2, B3
