Dirty streets

 Hi,

    personally I don't think it is the councils fault, they empty the bins on a regular basis. People just dump all manner of rubbish by and around the bins rather than disposing if it properly, Not far from us there are a set of bins with no properties immediately next to them. You will see old fridges, furniture, mattresses, erc. etc,, just about anything dumped there plus massive amounts of garden waste. 

  It is the people who in effect are fly-tipping that cause the problems. The amount of dumped waste gets worse when there are more visitors.

Aitch.

And dog muck everywhere  

The whole of the Orihuela Costa is a dump, and will remain that way until the authorities start spending money to sort this out rather than spending it all on Orihuela City. 

They were out in force cleaning up around Los Dolses this morning so with luck they'll work their way through Orihuela Costa. This might be thanks to the folks who joined in the protest at Flamenca Beach.

It's the local residents that are causing the problems with rubbish!!

I see from your own photo that the drinks cans, garden rubbish and black bag could have been put into the bin not 10 feet away!!

The local people want educating, not the council.

I see from your location that you do not live in Orihuela Costa, you will be probably unaware of the pot holes in the road and the jungles growing at the kerbside. 100% the councils fault. There are folk who fly tip, there are also occasions when the bins are so full you can't get close to them for bags of rubbish. It's a disgrace.

My location is Benidorm but my sister has lived on the Villamartin for around 22 years and I have spent many weeks there!!

Some areas are kept nice by the residents themselves who keep their own patches clean and tidy.

Hi,

    I can agree with you on the weeds. Most in the community keep their stretch clear in from of the property but the main roads are mostly very neglected. There are stretches along the roads and the canal pathways where the wild growth is the height of large bushes and undermining the tarmac. The longer they leave it the more expensive it is going to be to repair. 

 On a positive note, when we were over in June we discovered that the back road from Villamartin to San Miguel de Salinas had been repaired and resurfaced, so much better now.

I do agree with that , but look closer and theres rubbish all down the sides off the streets , a lot is vegetation,  stuff off trees etc , all it would take is a street cleaning sweeper truck ! I presume this is why we all pay suma,  never looked this bad in the past ,
