no bother on the bridge - crossed it last night - one lane coned off since the inferno and a 40-50m stretch of barrier is missing.
The smoke ball was immense and the side of the hill on the Portuguese side got rather toasted.

do pretty good rates for the over 75s as cover for this age group is pretty difficult to come by.

Searched the thread for "Garden Gates" and saw your posting.
Recently completed on our Townhouse on Manzana 2.No access gates to pool area.Wife not very happy.Does anybody know if we are allowed to put one in.
We spoke to a Fadesa employee and he seemed to think it was up to us.
How come some houses have access and others do not.We have heard various reasons for this.

I have the same issue with my town house on Manzana 5. When I asked Fadesa why some had, and some didn't they couldn't give me an answer. However they did say if I want to put one in I can. To be honest having no gate is crazy, how do they expect simple maintenance tasks to be completed, like cutting the grass when the owners not there. I know one of the first things I will be doing is installing a gate, and hopefully something a little nicer than the ones Fadesa have put in.

Glad to know you are of the same opinion.Perhaps if you install one soon you could let me know who you used.

We had problems with workmen leaving rubbish around the doors of our apartment. Despite many trips to the shed ( what on earth do they do down there) Fedesa claimed that they will not working there despite the fact that they were using an empty apartment as an office (without permission!!)
I saw the Administrator who saw the mess and next day it was gone, as were the workmen)
So it seem that he does have clout and and can get things sorted.
Regards and good luck in the town houses.

We are on M2 as well. When we went out there in April to see our house I was very annoyed that there was no gate and Silvia told me it was "Health and Safety" due to the incline...that is a load of rubbish as there is a gentle slope only. She said that after a while we could put one in providing the "Community of Owners" agreed. Errrrrr, what about H & S ?? If it applied in April and now July what will channge that fact at a later date. I asked Paula and she gave the same reasons as Silvia for the lack of a gate. It is on our plans and one of the plus points was to be able to walk from the garden at the rear to the pool, now we will have to go out the front and "round the block ". I wrote to the Director of "non" Communications" at Fadesa (Belen ?)about this and other matters way back in April, after our first visit to actually go into the house, and you will not be surprised to hear that I have not as yet received a reply. I wrote another letter early July and so far have not received a reply to that one either. Re. the gate I feel if it is Ok with H & S to put one in at a later date (if the Community of Owners agree) then Fadesa should supply and fit them for all of the properties that have a gate detailed on their plan, if that is what each property owner wants.

Strange Fadesa saying its for Health and Safety, when the majority of the houses in Manzana 4 and 6 have gates from the garden to the pool area, as you say if it fits for one why not all.

Hi everyone
We are hoping to get mosquito screens fitted as soon as possible as I believe the mosquitoes are quite bad at the moment. Can anyone recommend a company please? Did I read somewhere on the thread that Sam and Benny had fitted them for someone?
