Veïns de Parcent – Newsletter Nº 65 – 6th September 2007

Dear Friends,

I hope you have all had a good summer and are enjoying today's sunshine after a rather dull August (though I bet it was warmer here than in the UK!).

Veïns de Parcent general meeting
Because both Jacqui Cotterill and Joan Carles Poquet are now on the Council, we need to have a meeting in October to choose and elect a new Committee and also consider what our role is now that the Coalición Democrática de Parcent is in power. I shall be sending out invitations to attend this meeting shortly. Obviously this will be for all residents of all nationalities.

Veïns de Parcent still has a role to play in the life of Parcent:

• We still need to be available to protest, possibly at very short notice, against any decisions taken on the development of Parcent at any level of government, but in particular by the Consellería del Territorio y Vivienda on all the plans that have been lodged there for consideration.
• A further €2000 has now been paid to the lawyer, which brings us up-to-date for the work he has done so far (total €6000). We may still need his services in the future so need to continue to raise funds.
• Other social activities and voluntary work in our community.
• Continue to keep an eye on local government and make suggestions for improvements in what is done in our name.

If you would be willing to come on to the Committee, or if you have any suggestions or ideas at all, please contact me. Several of you have already expressed your willingness to help in one way or another, and we will be contacting you to discuss this with you.

I shall continue to keep you informed of Veïns' activities in these newsletters but there will also be another one, possibly monthly, giving information about Parcent in general – my suggested name is "The Parcent Post" (unless you can think of something better). This will include council reports, news of public events, courses and activities, and could also include small ads for items for sale or wanted, services available locally and so on. We hope to get the Parcent web-site up-dated shortly too. If you do not wish to receive this newsletter, please let me know.

All best wishes,
