The questions and answers
-
What is the situation of the site at the moment?
We are doing a lot of work to the site facilities.
As you know, amongst many other things, we've done a lot of maintenance on the three campsite transformers, we're updating all the electrics on I, J, K and L sectors, and we're making sure that the campsite's waste water system doesn't leak into the Mar Menor, as that is a major concern for the Council.
Obviously, we don't just have to do the work - we also need to have it signed off by the right technicians, engineers, etc. or the Council won't accept it.
-
Did you have a chance to speak to a Council engineer regarding the questions I sent you?
It was not possible, but I discussed some of the points with our own egineer.
-
I don't want to upset you, but I have to say things as they are: nobody will listen to you, to Conchi (head of accountancy) nor anyone else from the Caravaning Costa Cálida administration.
People have zero trust in your company.
If you want people to make changes, those instructions will have to be issued by a person with authority.
Is there any possibility you could organise a meeting for the entire campsite, with the presence of a Council technician or spokesperson, in order to let evereyone know exactly what needs to be done, when they can start, what date they need to finish by, and what the consequences are for not complying?
The Council is not keen at all to interact with the campsite - it's extremely hard to get them to do anything.
Look at how far we had to go last time, to get something done: we had to get many people to protest in Cartagena outside the Town Hall.
Still, I'll discuss it with our solicitor.
-
Would that be the site solicitor, Ángel David?
No, it's someone else - one of the best solicitors in Cartagena.
Nicolás (owner of CapFun) won't take any chances with this sort of thing.
-
The people on site have no incentive whatsoever to start taking down double roofs, create separation, etc.
Despite what it said in the Council document, everyone seems to think it'll all be swept under the rug again somehow.
How are you going to let everybody know how serious this is?
I realise people are not keen to start work, but they need to realise that changes are needed, or one day they'll try to go to their homes only to find them taped off.
If the residents were more keen, I'd happily help organise things; for example, we could buy fire alarms in bulk for everyone, to save money.
But until people start making other, more important changes, there's no point.
I'm talking to the different owners' associations to try and find a solution.
I frequently speak to Nicolás and I tell him about all the improvements we make to the site.
Sometimes he'll ask if the private owners have done anything yet, and I don't have much to tell him.
You have to understand the following: the things that management has to fix on site are very expensive, but also quite easy to accomplish; the work that each private owner has to carry out is much less costly in comparison, but it's much harder to get people to actually do it.
-
Does that mean that Nicolás is still interested in investing money in the site?
Absolutely!
He is still very positive about getting the site running again and, right now, most of the money for the repairs and wages for the staff is coming from CapFun.
However, before spending even larger amounts of money on the site, he wants to see how things progress.
-
Would you consider organising an extraordinary general meeting in the near future to discuss all these things with the private owners?
I might do.
Yet, people are just going to use the opportunity to blame me for everything.
