Marked with an *The letter basically says that the laws regarding Vado’s were updated in June 2023.It would seem, that you either apply for a Vado within 15 days of receipt of the letter, or choose to ignore it and face a charge of 482.58 euros. ( not sure if ITV is included)If the Ayuntamiento raises the curb. There is NO appeal.(Although it does not say in the letter, I understand that gates have to be removed and the opening enclosed also.)A Vado costs Approx 60 to 90 euros per year per property that fronts onto a public road. Eg In El Ras Gran.Internal calles which are private roads in the community, may require 1 Vado (single access) or 2 vado’ s (access either end of the calle)* Payment may be divided equally between all properties or the community may decide to pay out of community fees. This may include reimbursement for outer community properties. (To be discussed and voted on at an agm or egm)There is also a cost for the sign itself. Please contact you President as communities have various different ways which this is paid.

This has been copied from the El Raso Facebook page and as already noted on that page the presidents committee are trying to clarify it, with the local councillor etc. In one response the N332 Facebook page, have clarified the “Vado”, but obviously cannot comment on the legality of the ayuntamiento charging people to raise kerbs
The letter has been sent out to Guardamar residents listed in the above areas, who have got dropped kerbs, but do not own a Vado.
Note the translation also contained a typo regarding ITV should really read IVA.

Unreadable!

From N332 facebook page:-

Many people believe that having a garage space at home guarantees free access to it and that no one will be able to park in front of it, but that is not the case. Unless you request a VADO, any vehicle can park without any restrictions.
Only a legal "VADO" sign posted on your garage door can prohibit vehicles to park and allow you free access to the property.
People might think that vado is simply a no-parking sign, but it is actually the right to cross a public sidewalk where you pay a fee to the town hall compensating for the adicional cost for maintaining. Price can vary pending on area and on how many vehicles are passing.
]To ask about vado you can contact your town hall

House #1:
The neighbor thinks that since he has a parking space inside his plot, it is enough to paint a yellow line in the entrance area to inform other drivers that they cannot park in that part of the street.

House nº2:
This neighbor thinks that by buying the "Permanent Vado" or "No Parking" sign at the hardware store, the rest of the users will respect it and not park at his garage door.

House #3:
This person has informed the Town Hall of the regulations that regulate parking on public roads and has requested a VADO.

In a few weeks he has received the VADO license plate issued by the municipal authority which comes with an identifying number for each sign. Once the plate was granted, this person proceeded to paint a continuous yellow line whose length is marked on the authorization issued by the Town Hall
