Veïns de Parcent - Newsletter Nº 54 - 9th May 2007

Veïns de Parcent win an award!
We have been awarded a prize by the Green Party of Dénia in the IV Premios Saba Nova, under the heading of Citizens Initiative, along with Dianium Dansa and Asociación Comarcal de Ayuda al Drogodependiente. Our representatives hope to attend the dinner next Saturday to receive the award.

Thursday, 10th May – Council Meeting at 8.15 p.m.

Two items on the Agenda:

• First, the adjudication of the contracts for the work to be done on La Musical building and the assumption of the financial arrangements (this will cost over 660,000 euros to do and a loan is being taken out to cover the costs until the grant is received – a severe strain on the town's budget for the future).

• Secondly, approval of the Accounts for 2004 and 2005. Still no sign of those for 2006, nor of a budget for 2007.

Now, a few dates as things hot up ...... I do not have any PP information at present, but will let you have it when available.

Friday, 11th May – Election campaign officially starts.

Saturday, 12th May – Residents' meeting at 7 pm. in the Club de Convivencia.
This will be conducted in English mainly and you will have the opportunity to meet your CDP candidates and ask them questions about their manifesto and the future of Parcent as they see it. We hope to have the printed manifesto by then, but will have the English, German, and Dutch translations available anyway.

Tuesday, 15th May – CDP meeting for all Parcentinos at 8 p.m. in the Club de Convivencia.
A Spanish language meeting to present the manifesto and answer questions. (This may be moved to Monday, so I will confirm it later on).

Thursday, 17th May – Dutch residents' meeting at 4 p.m. in Barranquet.
Dutch voters will receive an invitation to come to this meeting and meet some of the CDP candidates. Our thanks to Jan and Ria Meijer for offering their home for this meeting.

We also hope to arrange a similar meeting for German residents.
