"The reason for the present is to send you a series of points that Totana's restaurateurs represented by ASEMHOS and CHACT Associations would like you to study and have knowledge of them as we are seeing lately that several of our proposals and writings are being left Or we are denied, we are a sector in our opinion very important in our locality, which like other businesses try day by day open the doors of their businesses to earn a living, generate employment and development to our locality, therefore Mr. Mayor and as at the beginning of this letter we set out to detail some of the points which we understand would need to be addressed.
PARTY FESTIVALS:
With the arrival of good weather every year Associations of neighbors (non-profit), brotherhoods, different groups, etc.
Take advantage of these dates to make their holidays in neighborhoods or headquarters of brotherhoods, said parties are increasingly growing the hospitality sector feels increasingly harmed, have gone from being parties to a neighborhood to currently be more important than the patron saint festivities , Are announced and promoted by this City Hall, press conferences, leaflets, schedule extensions for musical shows, bar awards with significant sums of money, workers without sanitarily qualifying and without discharging, selling alcohol to Minors, etc. It is not our intention that these holidays disappear because they are part of our culture and traditions but that they are regulated more and better and we will be in equality of conditions before an unfair competition to our guild.
TERRACE REGULATIONS:
With this important point we have already almost a year and a half trying to regulate this situation was presented a draft of the new regulations to be studied today we have no answer, we must meet to reach an agreement, which we are sure will be, More and more are the problems with which we find ourselves by the existing regulations concerning terraces, awnings, schedules, etc. All this leads to actions sometimes by some technician to act with not very correct attitudes sometimes touching the arrogance When someone affected on this issue will ask for explanations or advice on the matter that we are dealing with.
We are also aware that several catering companies do not fulfill their obligations, therefore we must put all of our part to have a pattern to follow and put us all in order for the common good.
FESTIVAL COMMITTEE:
Another of the points that we believe is very important.
At the beginning of the parliamentary term in a call for citizen participation we sent to Mr Councilor of festivities the possibility of creating a commission of parties formed by innkeepers, merchants, associations and any group interested in managing and promoting the most important parties of our Locality making them Participatory, creative and productive events, such as: Santiago, Santa Eulalia, Carnival, Holy Week.
The answer of Mr. Councilman that this idea was in his electoral program, on March 13, 2017 and with time to act on the festivities of Santiago and after the issue of Carnival with the sale of a bar to foreign businessmen present a brief (R / E 2017/2226) since then everything has been long and postponements of these meetings that we asked for, which we still do not have.
FESTIVITIES OF SANTIAGO:
We have been several years now where the patron saint of Santiago are losing interest more and more, we have some ideal dates to celebrate a holiday worthy of Totana, surely you, as we have been told, "The feasts of Santiago will end For disappearing ".
We all long for those years in which the party was in the street and there was a festive atmosphere in every corner of Totana, we do not pretend to return to those years of waste and uncontrol but to the participatory and attractive parties that can be created for Totaneros and visitors, Hence the importance of the creation of the festival commission.
We need to make everyone aware that during a summer party we will have: Music, people on the street, outdoor activities, etc. Today everything annoys and we can not let a minority deprive the great majority of fun and creates life and illusion So necessary to our Municipality, because this is one of the main reasons why our Associations have been rejected a proposal for these holidays in Santiago 2017. I enclose the document presented with (RE 2017/5144)
These are currently our main concerns.
Thanking you in advance for your attention and remaining at your disposal to discuss these issues and those you deem appropriate,
Mr Martín Miras Rosa President of (CHACT) / Mr Jesús Vélez Rubio President of (ASEMHOS)
