Beds and brollies 2016.

I have just received this reply from the UMP :-

Hi Lyn, this afternoon there is an important meeting at City Hall on this subject. Tonight or tomorrow will be news that we hope will be to finally be mounted beaches.

They certainly do respond fast. I'm not really a "Facebooky" typey person, how does one get onto their page may I ask?!

The rumours are that it will be sorted in a maximum of 15 days.

Today is the 7th day of this summer season and still not a sign of beds & brollies on the beach. Other resorts have them out. So is this just another thing to keep in mind when booking holidays in May? This will be our first outing to PP in May as we normally come in late June for a couple of weeks then mid September to mid October, but with all I am reading on here about the dangerous cyclists and sun beds is coming to PP a good idea. Love the place been coming for 30years but it now appears to be changing, maybe time to look for somewhere else!!

To be honest, I'd be more worried about the weather than if the beds and brollies are out. I'd rather have sun and no beds and brollies than rain when nobody can use the beds and brollies

Re post #37 - but nobody can control the sun and rain; more of an "act of god".

Beds and brollies are totally controllable; more of an "inaction of the Council".

Wholly unacceptable for early season visitors; (and lost income for the Council).

It's beyond a joke all this nonsense now. I said some time ago that the beach MUST be prepared for when the first tourist arrives. Never mind the weather, when a season starts, who's got the contract nonsense. It's pathetic and that along with the ignorant type of cyclists will start putting off tourists.

No other beach area in Spain is so unprepared for tourists. Add to that the fact that no one even bothers to clean the beaches. Not good.

Not true Nick, they have been out cleaning the beach.

Hopefully, the council will repeat there previous stance when the contract was awarded for 4 years before needing to go to tender .

[Sparky]

I did see on their website that it will be for 3 years, from 2016 - 2019 .

The council don't lose anything, nor do Costas. It's the people who win the franchise that do, that is, of course, the council don't decide to run it themselves.

No other beach!! have you checked every single one?

I'm sorry sws but when people are paying top dollar to go to a resort, for a holiday they may have saved all year for, they expect to have sunbeds on the beach. I don't understand why you think think is even defensible.
