Salvem Parcent, Save Parcent

Parcent is a small village in the Valencian region of Spain. Its existence is threatened by plans to build thousands of houses on its hillsides, increasing the population threefold and changing the character of the village forever. This blog aims to tell the world about whats happening to our village and ask people to join us in our fight to protect Parcent.

MEPS TO VISIT PARCENT


A delegation from the Petition's Committee
of the European Parliament is to visit
Parcent on March 1st. The visit to Parcent
and 9 other villages in Alicante Province
was proposed during the debate of our
petition in the Petition's Committee last
November.
The delegation, which aims to investigate
the current situation of abuses of urban
planning legislation and breaches of European
laws, is headed by the President of the
Committee, Mr Marcin Libicki. He is
accompanied by British Labour MEP, Michael
Cashman, Vice President of the Petition's Committee.
They will be arriving in Parcent on the afternoon
of thursday March 1st and will be met by 'Veïns
de Parcent' by the Cooperativa building
after 4.30 pm, after which we will host a meeting
for the delegation to talk with petitioners,
allowing people to explain their worries and
complaints about the three PAIs which were
provisionally approved by Parcent Town Hall
on 30th January 2006.
The MEPs will then attend a meeting with the
Town Hall after which they will head for Benissa
where a public meeting is to be held in the
Sede Universitaria building, Calle Purissima 57/59
from 7pm till 9pm.
We invite all members of 'Veïns de Parcent' and
all interested in the problems of urban planning
in Valencia and in particular Parcent to
meet us at the Cooperativa Building and
attend our meeting with the MEPS to
demonstrate our oppostion to the Town Hall's
plans and our thanks to the Petition's Committee
of the EU for coming to Parcent to investigate our
complaint.
