Environmentalists demanding immediate plan for Alcudia and Pollensa bays

There are so many steps that could be taken now to stop the sewage problem. 1. Stop granting building licences for 3 years to reduce the incessant rise in development. 2. Investigate the fly tipping of sewage into the already overcrowded system. We see the companies who empty cesspools just emptying their load in the sewer in Llenaire. They do this to avoid the fees for legitimate emptying but it just adds to the load. 3. Invest in new sewers rather than anything else being considered now

I would suggest the lack of action is down to lack of funding for improved infrastructure . Far too many new flats have been given planning consent, especially in the Boccar area behind Pine walk yet not a penny has been spent on the sewer system. This is just unacceptable mismanagement by the local authority. They should hang their heads low and resign. Shockingly bad performance that one would maybe expect in Africa but not in a premier European resort. The tourists will leave and not come back.

Given the horrific effects of Covid on tourism and thus people’s livelihoods, you would think this would be a number one priority??? The environment needs to be protected. Now, not in 20 years time when it’s too late. Time to wake up.

Talk, talk and more talk. Action is the only thing that counts. Presence of E-coli at alarming levels for at least the last two years. Are the relevant parties waiting for serious illness before acting? The bays of Pollença and Alcudia are the source of our income, tourism will suffer if this continues
