Residents with umbrellas hold the Parque del Mar Neighbourhood Association banner during the march

A sea of umbrellas calls for proper access to Parque del Mar

More than 200 residents walked in the rain from San Gabriel to Casa Mediterráneo, demanding the removal of disused tracks, clearance of ADIF’s land and safe temporary access to Parque del Mar.

Disused railway tracks running into vegetation beside Parque del Mar

Alicante has waited more than half a century for ADIF to release the land beside Casa Mediterráneo

Salamanca had to wait three decades for ADIF to dismantle disused tracks. In Alicante we have waited more than five decades, over half a century, to reclaim ADIF’s abandoned land beside Casa Mediterráneo and Parque del Mar. How can Alicante carry so little weight in…

Residents demand a solution for ADIF’s abandoned land next to Casa Mediterráneo

A rubbish dump or housing. Those are the options ADIF is offering Alicante residents for the land it has left abandoned for more than 50 years beside Casa Mediterráneo and Parque del Mar. A choice between two bad outcomes, and unfortunately the city still has no mayor who will put an end to…

Paved walkway through the square lined with two rows of palm trees

Residents demand a playground, shade and basic services after the promised square was abandoned

Tired of waiting for the landscaped square on Calle Nadadora Carmen Soto, which we secured unanimous approval for nearly three years ago, we have requested the urgent installation of a playground, outdoor exercise equipment for older people, shade trees and a drinking fountain on Paseo de la Policía…

Alicante City Council’s Property Maintenance Department is failing

Alicante City Council’s Property Maintenance Department is FAILING. We do not know whether it is down to lack of money, poor management, demoralised staff or all three. What is clear is that it is FAILING. We have waited months for the simple job of clearing a small private plot…

We call for more street cleaning to tackle antisocial behaviour

Alicante fails to make the most of its cultural heritage without signs or council interest

In Alicante, where indifference reigns, the few remnants of our cultural heritage to have escaped demolition, historically driven by tolerated ignorance and greed, are put on show to residents and visitors without any signs explaining that unusual traffic light…

Paved square with a concrete planter containing broad-leaved plants

We welcome repairs to the square’s planters after raising their condition

On 7 April we raised concerns about the planters in the square behind the AC hotel on Calle Moratín, where cladding was coming away and there was graffiti. We passed by today and saw that the problems had been put right. We want to thank those responsible publicly. Just as…

Disused railway tracks running into vegetation beside Parque del Mar

ADIF and Parque del Mar: residents demand safe crossings and a thorough clean-up

Dear Transport Minister Óscar Puente, you recently responded to our request to clear rubbish and cut back vegetation on ADIF’s land next to Casa Mediterráneo and Parque del Mar. The job was only half done, and the route we use was left untouched…

Weeds, broken fencing and neglect in the heart of the neighbourhood

For weeks we have raised concerns about the appalling upkeep of a private plot on Calle Federico Mayo. Weeds are spreading over the pavement and making it hard to pass. The broken fence and lack of cleaning are further breaches of council by-laws. We hope the new written request…
