THE AIM COUNCILLORS STATEMENT AFTER THE MANUEL BARRERA SAGA:

Our current position is this:

We were elected by AIM members and urbanisation residents with a mandate to give the people of the urbanisations a voice in the Town Hall for the very first time. The articles of constitution for our political party are emphatic in that our responsibility is to represent the political will of the people, not the political ambitions of one man. With your support we will continue to work as independent councillors.

NEW STREET SIGNS GOING UP...

It is easy to see that the new colourful street signs that have been erected on previously unnamed streets is making life a lot easier for many people in La Marina. The council has instigated this for new streets initially.  Many of the older streets will also receive new street signs early next year.  

 

PRO-ACTIVE POLICING IS NOW IN OPERATION IN LA MARINA....

The public have been informed in numerous recent newspaper articles and publications that anti social behaviour and abuse of peoples property will not be tolerated. The Policia  Local now have new vehicles and new officers, they will also work covertly. Officers will sometimes be in plain clothes and unmarked vehicles to pinpoint those people involved in anti-social behaviour, those using illegal cars on the roads and those commiting driving offences. 

 

RENEWED PEST CONTROL PROGRAMME....

Many palm trees have been infected. We have instigated a new pest control programme to combat the recent infestations of the palm beetle, cockroaches and other insects. A specialist company has been appointed.  

 

ANIMAL WELFARE LAWS AND OWNERS THAT ALLOW THERE ANIMALS TO DEFECATE ON PUBLIC PATHS AND GREEN AREAS....

The council is keen to implement the animal welfare laws and the social welfare laws for animals. Any person found neglecting, abusing or abandoning an animal will be fined. Also, any person that allows an animal to defecate in public areas without removing it immediately to dispose of it correctly will receive a fine. It is important to realise that EVERY pet must be controlled in public areas with a collar or harness and a retaining lead at all times, and it must be registered in the town hall animal register.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS OF THE “LA ESCUERA” IBERIAN TEMPLE

 

Again this year archaeological excavations were implement in San Fulgencio on the early Iberian settlement of “La Escuera” located to the south of the urbanisation. The archaeological works are being carried out by students of archaeology of the University of Alicante, under the direction of D. Lorenzo Abad Casal, professor of archaeology, Dña. Feliciana Sala Sellés, teacher of archaeology and D. Jesus Moratalla Jávega, also a professor of archaeology from the University of Alicante. 

The objective of the current work is to clean and then graphically record the archaeological remains of the Iberian temple sanctuary dating back to the third century BC that are visible thanks to the original work carried out by Swedish archaeologist Solveig Nordström in June to November 1960. Solveig Nordström, currently residing in Benidorm, was invited to see the work currently being performed by the team from Alicante University. She spent a full day with the team on Thursday 26th July 2007. Now 84 years old she was overjoyed to see her work, carried out 47 years earlier, being brought up to date and catalogued.

In the third century BC the “La Escuera” settlement covered an area of three square kilometres, only a very small section of this early Iberian City site has been revealed to modern day man. The goal of the archaeologists who have worked on this site is to preserve it for future generations.  They would dearly love to be able to spend time unearthing more of the ancient city but funding for this is a major obstacle. It takes many months, sometimes years, of delicate and vigilant work to ensure that anything of importance is not missed or damaged during a dig. They will return in July next year to continue the excavations of this important site.

Solveig Nordström is a hero to modern day archaeologists. In 1955 she prevented the destruction of the archaeological remains of an ancient Roman City located in Alicante by lying on the ground in front of the bulldozer that had been brought in to level the ground to make way for a new hotel complex. Her bravery was reported worldwide and this site is now confirmed to be the ancient Roman city of “Lucentum”. Her endeavour culminated in the “Lucentum” site being designated in 1961 as an "Artistic and Historic Monument", which then afforded it some legal protection.

After Solveig Nordström’s excavation of the La Escuera site in 1960 she wrote a book detailing her work. This book is remarkable as even by today’s standards it is a very precise record of the archaeological remains. 

The new San Fulgencio councillor Mick Blake stated “We want to ensure that everyone in this area knows of local historical treasures. Those who wish to become involved in the protection and conservation of the local environment will be invited to do so. Most of the finds from this site and from the “El Oral” excavations (in the quarry) are on exhibition in the Alicante “MARQ” museum. MARQ museum site
