JIMENA POLICE STATION ‘ILLEGAL’

IMG_8116 (Press Release) The Partido Andalucista (PA) has issued a statement that reviews the answers given to their requests about illegal buildings in the village. Among other things, Mayor Pascual Collado has admitted that the Local Police headquarters, in the middle of the ‘old quarter’, was renovated without regard for building regulations in this part of town, something that had already been admitted by Town Planning Councillor Fernando Gómez. However, the Mayor said that since it is a ‘rental’, it will be put back to its original state when the police move to new offices. The PA finds it ‘inconceivable that those who are charged with having building regulations adhered to are the very ones who have fostered this illegality’.

The statement goes on to point out that not only has the front of the building been changed completely, but ‘large windows were opened and then decorated, surrounded by blue alluminium frames. What would happen if a regular inhabitant did this? Didn’t any building inspector see what was going on?’

“For a long time now, the PA has complained about costly rentals of property, their conversions and furnishing so that a political crony can later be installed. In this case, the Local Police station was inaugurated under a year ago by the government’s sub-Delegate, Sebastián Saucedo, and other high officers, but it seems nobody noticed the enormous contrast between this building and its surroundings.

“The PA will be taking the matter to the department of Urban Discipline to request an urgent explanation.”
