Beds and brollies 2016.

[Hamcas]

I think you will find that the Daina and Sis Pins sun beds are for residents only.

I am sure they will be I place for the start of the season which despite what we think is the 1st May.

The tractor was busy moving sand around Tamarells earlier .

[Jonsey]

Wind breaks being taken down! Appearance of brollies and sun beds must be imminent!

[bc1]

No movement on the brolly and sunbed front yet, any news anybody. slightly worrying.

[lollipop]

The contract has not yet been awarded to anyone !!!!

This is not unusual, it has happened before. I'm sure that some of the Beds and Brollies will be located on the beaches over the next few weeks and at the latest the end of May / early June. There are usually goodly numbers of B & B's - if not all - in place for the late May Bank Holiday period (Half-Term Holidays). I have seen the latter ones being put out in early June on several previous occasions.
Please see my previous post #6.
All will be well, happy hol's.

p.s. As far as I understand, Daina and Sis Pins units are for their Residents!

Why doesn't that surprise me?...

They should really be owned and put up by the council as soon as the wind barriers are removed.
Even in a reduced number to cater for the early visitors.

The running of the day to day operation should then be tendered / contracted out.

I couldn't agree more.
Yet again. Just can't get my head around it.

Is everything in PP left to the last minute?!

[KWUK2]

Wow, this delay is a serious issue. And the season starts next week !!

Last year we were out in April, great weather, most sunbeds & brollies in place, used them a lot; and for free until just before end Apr.

We’re out in PP in under a fortnight and are hoping to use the sunbeds etc again (chargeable this time).

Maybe this year it will rain all the time we’re there (hope I’m not tempting fate). If it does rain, all ‘problems’ are solved with a triple whammy - won’t need sunbeds, won’t need ice creams from the cabin and rain darkens the new pavements :-)

[mike_dublin]

So much nice and sunny weather, so few beds and brollies (or rather none) ...

Any update on the awarding of the contract?

[Sparky]

No and it's such a shame, for the last 3 years everything has been in place in April, we seem to have taken a backward step this year .

[lollipop]

The guy I spoke to who is part of the beach team from last year described the council as "Unique". Perhaps we should all put the question on the town hall FB page. They are good at responding and it might make a point.

[Sparky]

I have sent them and the UMP a message.

[Nick]

"Unique" hey, well that's one word for them, wouldn't be mine though!!!
