It seems to be a recurring theme and there are various groups active in trying to get more funds for the Orihuela Costa which seems to come way down the pecking order for most things.

As you say a recurring theme with the accusation that the Expat / tourist population is a major source of income for the Orihuela Council who seem to put that money into projects around Orihuela City rather than investing in the infrastructure around Orihuela Costa.

Super helpful member
It's not just the weeds that are an eyesore, travelling from Villamartin to La Zenia I could not help but notice how littered the pavements were, plastic bottles, empty drink cans, cigarette ends, face masks, all probably thrown from cars. 😔

I do live in a traditional Spanish town Ray, at least in the Campo, and we see the women out sweeping and mopping. We also regularly see workers from the local Ayuntamiento sweeping the streets because the money collected in Albatera goes on Albatera which unfortunately is not the case on the Orihuela Costa. The roads are awful, the facilities are inadequate and surely paying your IBI gives you some right to expect a certain level of investment?

Why should we have to go to that extent when we pay annually for the service to be carried out for us ?
It is disgraceful that Orihuela City grab the vast majority IBI income for their own needs at the expence of the rest of the surrounding Costa areas.

Pat hear I have say you are so right is it not in the interest of local business people and say people to stand up and not let this happen as taxes are being paid to the local council if I don't pay my tax it would not take to long before I'd have call from the council
