Limit to the number of hire cars being proposed
The El Pi party is proposing that the regional government establishes a maximum limit to the number of hire cars in the Balearics. In making this proposal, the party points to the saturation of the road network each summer, and its leader, Jaume Font, is to ask President Armengol in parliament tomorrow what steps are going to be taken to avoid this situation.

Agree that these companies should pay a tax but as long as the monies end up being used to improve the roads and not in someones pocket.
At least the cars are paying taxes. What about the cyclists?? Anybody who thinks they are good for the island should take a very stressfull drive around Pollença, Playa de Muro, Can Picafort, Alcudia & Sa Pobla. I guarantee they will have a different opinion.
They are at it again - cutting their nose off to spite their face!
Re proposed limit numbers of Hire cars Why don't the government just ban tourists altogether ? as this seems to be the way it is heading what with tourist tax, the restrictions on self catering accommodation, winter close down of resorts etc etc. Suggest the authorities need to engage their brains before it is to late.
