Being a bit sceptical I think Mr Lidon is nearly always thinking of ways to increase his restaurant trade

Yes, I know that he had to close Manolo's down through lack of trade, but I have heard that his other one is very nice.

He is head honcho of Donapepaonline - a neighbourhood group - which is trying to improve the area. He has quite a few communities within this group and is trying to make it a pressure group to improve the local community. As he is also an estate agent - and a better looking community always helps a property to sell!!

It's always nice for members to 'declare their interest', if any, when they post .....helps to keep the cynics quiet(er)!

On the subject of 'cleaning-up', I have a whinge to share about the disgusting mess on the tiles between the Indian restaurant near Euromarina(India House?) and the empty building next door(formerly a Russian-owned restaurant).
It appears that someone has tipped a large quantity of (presumably) used cooking oil from the kitchen if the Indian, whence it has run downhill almost to the road in front of the Indian and Rizzo's restaurants.

I walked down there fairly soon after and nearly went A over T as it was extremely slippery. This was about a week ago(probably more) and no attempt appears to have been made to clean it up....in fact the other day, there was more wetness there suggesting that it had been added-to

Wondering if there is someone on the Council to whom it could be reported, without the hassle of much paperwork?

I receive regular updates from Francisco Lidon, as I was interested to see what he was offering with his community projects. I had a word (a couple of years ago) with the then president of my community to see if he would be interested in joining - as on the face of it it sounded very interesting being able to have a Spaniard who had the "direct ear" of the local councils. However, when Mr Lidon visited my community - Conjunto Ronda - neither the then president (German) or the then vice-president (Spanish) were very keen on what he was offering. However, as I don't live in Spain I find it useful to receive the latest news of the happenings in the vicinity!!

I would firstly try having a word with the local town hall about this problem, Roger. Nothing seems to move quickly - and as for the paperwork... well.... no comment... except to say that the old English civil servants seem to have given the Spanish a lot of advice - everything in triplicate!!

Good luck with your reporting - as someone could be caught unawares and have a nasty accident.

Thanks, Sandra...there is a man who has an office in Quesada Ayto who seems quite willing to help with 'causes' ...forgotten his name, but have it somewhere!
