Hi all,
I too am concerned about the street lighting, however I am not sure
that paying to have it will work, and it could be the thin edge of the
wedge 5 euros now and then later???Also another problem is that the
street I live on Calle Alcaudete, has some empty houses and some
holiday homes, I think it will be difficult to make or even ask those
who don't live here and hardly ever come here to contribute. How do
other poligonos have their lights, if Masa have not paid the bill
(which is what I have been told) then surely all of Camposol should be
in darkness! We have native Spaniards on sector C, I wonder if we
could approach them to see what they can establish?
I am not being negative and we should have our lights, but I don't
think paying for them is logistically possible.

Well I am pleased some else is also concerned enough to comment on the
lack of street lighting.
I have emailed all the heads of the gardening groups plus the others
including the local councillor Jackie Galvez to ask for a joint effort
to get the lights on and I have had a reply from D sector also JG. no
other's bothered to reply. JG said it was Masa and not the council who
were responsible.
My thoughts are we are not going to get anyone to provide lights for
free regardless of who is responsible.
The water company Aqualia are the administrators for collecting money
on behalf of Masa who then pay the water company for the water and the
council for the emptying the refuge bins
.It is there for possible to have a standard charge for street
lighting of around 5€ per bill which is every 2 months included this
way every villa will pay including holiday homes and villas that seem
to have been forgotten about by there owners.
The electric company can only charge what go through the meter so no
good asking them.
I am seeing someone on Monday to ask for their help by them speaking
to Masa and see if we can get the lights back on.
If this fails I think its time for direct action by fitting a very
cheap 500watt lamp to the lamp post with a lead going into your villa
and you turn on your own street light.
If a few do this on each street we will have over come the problem.
I am sure we could do this on C Sector, I for one will be looking to
fit my own with the help of a local electrician. Estimated cost per
lamp post with bracket and lamp plus cable 40€ max plus the running
cost.
I am told all the lights are going to be turned off apart from the new
villas near the bottom of the farm road which I believe pay a service
charge for pool and gardening and lighting.
Like the song says there may be trouble ahead but while there's moon
light and sun and romance.....etc!!!!!.
