Priority plans for Palmeras de Altea association: 

• Proposal to have the complete administration in own hands for better performance and to prevent the expenditure of high costs for external assistance
• Keep firm control on subscriptions to be paid by individual property-owners. Official receipts will be handed out to members paying cash or sent to members whose funds appear as receipts in the Association’s bank account.
• Undertake yearly activities to socialize with other residents
• Investigations to achieve a better and safer connection with the N332 main road. We have, during 201 and 2012, twice asked Alicante ‘Red de Carreteras’ to look at this matter with negative responses to date. For further detail, please see under ‘Security’ page.
• Costs for infrastructural projects such as sewerage system, urban lighting etc., should be directed to and paid for by the Ayuntamiento (which currently has no money available).
• Maintenance and repair of roads, bridges and any other infrastructure should be directed at the applicable institutes or authorities
• Negotiations to have the fire pits installed for our safety. Further delay cannot be justified by the lack of financial funds
• The cleaning of Galera roads and maintenance of common areas both below and above the motorway
• Annual distribution and registration of membership identification shields to be placed at the property entrance
• Revitalize the activities within the Neighbourhood Watch organisation
• Prevention of dumping all kinds of rubbish and builders’ spoil in barancos and along the roads
• Update membership lists and provide these in confidence to members upon request
• Active search for and social welcome to new property owners / members
• Possible purchase of a defibrillator with instructions how to use by volunteers. Nominated telephone number of semi-trained First Aid member(s). As of 2012, there have been no volunteers
• Transparency of financial accounts. Individual expenses justifiably claimed by Board members in the proper execution of their duties will always be made very clear and stand examination
• Minuted explanations of ongoing negotiation with the authorities at the Ayuntamiento so no member will remain uninformed of the status quo.
• All Board members to be elected for a two year period only and will automatically stand down with an offer to stand for re-election if required.
• International nature of a Board structure encouraged. It is currently Spanish, Dutch and British.
• Distribution of Financial accounts with explanation and open to members’ questions submitted to the AGM’s agenda
• Any road works (e.g. the recent tearing up and patching of Puput by Aigues de Altea) to be first authorised by the Association
• Fire escape via the lower part of Calle La Judia is now private property and impassable by car – Fire Escape at the lower end of La Gautla completely blocked subsequent to the removal of the ‘Pit Verde’. This has been partly cleared by our volunteers during 2012 and further work will be undertaken
• Liaison with Autopista and Ferrovial authorities for periodic painting of their bridges
• Calm atmospheres to prevail at meetings unlike the fiascos pervading those of Galpalm in the past
• Pose a further request to the Correos office at Altea to possibly have the lock changed on the door to the Buzons so that there is no access to the rear of the boxes by anyone other than the postman himself/herself. This was initially turned down but we shall persevere with this important matter
• Investigation and information about the proposed Altea by-pass which is supposed to tunnel under the Galera. There are mysteries surrounding this and how it might affect The Galera. Is it going to happen? When? Disseminate information.
• Each member will be requested to ask for and provide the email addresses of their immediate neighbour left and right when on good terms of acquaintance and if that neighbour acquiesces
• The website to feature a dynamic FAQ
• The website will show the email addresses of the President and the Secretary who will seek to RESPOND to communications requiring a best possible response.
