State of roads

Are you aware that we had horrendous rain for three to four days over Easter that caused widespread damage to the road network and workmen are working to prioritise the worst sections for repair.

I’m very aware , I also stated the roads were in an awful state BEFORE I came over ( have you seen the state of the road as you go through the arch? It’s been bloody dangerous for a very long time and I mean years and nothing gets done about it

Have you registered your complaint at the Town Hall or taken any other action to report the issue as giving off on the Forum will not reach the right people.

No I haven’t as that’s what I’m asking on the forum..... by the way if I sounded irate I apologise but I wouldn’t know how to go about registering a complaint as I’ve never had to before 

The reason I’m saying it’s dangerous as someone was driving in front of me today and they swerved out into the oncoming lane to avoid the massive potholes and just avoided a collision, the passing driver stopped and wanted to fight but he drove off...... this happen again no doubt about it

If you are in Villamartin I would suggest that you go to the Playa Flamenca Town Hall down from the Mercadona Supermarket, if you cannot register a complaint there hopefully they can steer you in the right direction.

Yes , Villamartin, I’ll see if I can do that. Btw I’m not comparing the roads over here to the Uk as I know how bad some roads are in the Uk.i have it off my chest now

Hi Kevin, just to let you know that you speak for many. Unless you live in Orihuela Costa or visit regularly, you wouldn't realise how dangerous the state of the roads are. Other areas might be a lot better but nearly every road here is in a dreadful state. The council are obviously aware of this, as it has been well reported in the local press. As usual, it all comes down to money, and the Orihuela Costa is not given enough funds. With so many new properties being built, there needs to be something done soon.

For years it has been common knowledge that Orihuela Council gets millions from Expats but directs the money to projects in Orihuela City rather than to the Costa.
