PETITION PROGRESS
















Our petition signing campaign is beginning to
take effect and we are hopeful that we will
shortly see more progress.

The petition to the Sindic de Greuges in
Alicante has been admitted for investigation
and the Ombudsmen has ordered Parcent
Town Hall and the Housing Department in
Alicante to supply documents. This process
can take some time as if the documents are
not supplied on the required date they are
then solicited again, but eventually Parcent
Town Hall will have to supply the documents
and justification for their actions to the
Ombudsmen.

The petition to the 'Defensor de Pueblo' in
Madrid is being prepared for sending at
the end of May. If anyone has not signed they
can do so online at www.nosevende.org, the
website of the newly formed national
federation of civic groups fighting abuses
of urban planning of which 'Veïns de Parcent'
is a founding member. If anyone wishes to
sign or collect signatures on printed forms they
can contact me via the contact below and I
will supply petition forms. Remember we
have only one more week.

Our European Petition is being noticed. Whilst
still awaiting official notification of the next
procedure we have received a copy of letter
sent from Mr M . Libick, President of the Petitions
Committee in Brussels to Señor Victor Campos,
Vice President of the Consell (Valencian Government).
This letter, which has been widely publicised in
Spanish and English press, states that the
European Union will continue to bring pressure
to bear on Valencia to reform it's abusive plans
laws and specifically mentions Parcent, adding
that our case will be investigated.

This is fantastic news for our campaign and
we are continuing to lobby Euro Mps to
support our petition. If anyone has any
personal contact with their Euro Mp please
inform them of the petition, or write to them
personally asking for support for 'Veins de Parcent'.
Euro Mps email addresses can be found on the
EU website, www.europarl.eu., under list of
MEPS, look for country and then local area.
