Taxi from Airport
Can someone give me an update as to what the Alicante Taxi rank cabs are charging to La Marina please.
Padron
Does anyone know if you have to renew / update your Padron, or is it simular to rates in the UK, once you have registered that is it, unless you have to make changes to your circumstances?
no you have to update it i think they only last for 3mths, i ve just updated ours the other day for lillies swimming lessons. xxx
Oh right, but if our circumstances do not change, does it still need to be updated?
If you want to buy a car or become a resident, or buy property, you have to update your padron. Other than that I think you are OK. But, don't take my word for it pop into The Office up the top and they will tell you.
Well we signed on the Pasdron in San Fulgencio a few years agao and then had to update it when we bought our car, but haven't done anything with it since.
Padron, While we are on the subject of Padron,can anyone tell me the truth. I am a non resident with a property on the Urb. I was told by the old regime,that to be on the padron I had to be a resident, but to do anything here they ask for your Padron. Is this a catch 22 situation. Many of my friends living elsewhere in Spain are on their padron but are not residents. Any help and advice will be most welcome
Robert you can sign on the padron as a non-resident. Go up to the office in La Marina(that is if you live on the Urb) take your passport and a recent utility bill. I think this is all you need, but they will tell you if they want anything else.
Hola Robert, no you do not need to be a resident to be on the padron, the more people who are on it here in La Marina the more services are provided, that is why we have our own police station and more recently a town hall. If you own a property you should be on the Padron and if you wish to purchase a car you will defo need to be on it.
ANSWER TO THE QUESTION? WHAT IS THERE AT NIGHT FOR KIDS
If you live on Quesada there are a few places to take children, depending on thier ages of corse. The country Cub has an area that children from dot´s upto ten can play in, safely and they have a craxy golf. Near to the Rojales Market there are two bars both with play areas the one has a fantastic crAZY GOLF AREA. And in Rojales there are loads of areas you can sit & watch your children play while you just relax, and not a computer in sight.
Clonk Clonk Rattle Rattle etc etc.
So there one is laying in bed with windows wide open as it is a little warm and all one can hear every time a car goes by is a very loud CLONK CLONK. It comes from a man hole cover that has been lifted by one of the Utility Companies and not replaced properly. There seems to be quite a few of these around the Urb. So if our newly elected councellor could find a way of getting this problem sorted for the many people who suffer that would be just GREAT. If you do not think this is justified maybe the new Mayor might come all the way down from Alicante to have a listen. Are you still away Jeff, or have you given up trying to answer the people's questions up here?
If the council wont deal with it the answer I have seen others on the Urbanisation do is to lift manhole cover and put a rubber inertube around it and replace cover. That stops it.
However I am told that to do so is illegal and that for doing it you can be fined by the police.
But what price a peaceful nights sleep.
Must admit have when driving around on the estate often heard them clang as you drive over them.
Have you any idea how heavy some of them covers are. I noticed them the other day 2 men using a magnet type gadget to lift the cover,
Ian,
it seems to me that the council have a repair team which re-cements the man hole covers. I think you will have noticed these being repaired and the little fences that they temporarily erect around the repaired man hole covers. I suggest you tell the people in the mini town hall and I think they would appreciate knowing where the offending man hole covers are and get them repaired for you.
