According to the Socialist Municipal Group of Xàbia, Chaos, financial surcharges, management overload and a river of protests have been the result of the "terrible management" from the Department of Economic Affairs, which he directs Teresa Legayand that, according to the PSOE, has alarmed thousands of subscribers in Xàbia.
Thousands of subscribers in Xàbia have had the unpleasant surprise of receiving a letter from the Town Hall in which they were informed of payments they had already made. According to the Socialists, the reason is the revaluation of the garbage rateThis was supposed to be communicated to interested parties, but the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) claims the City Council did so late and poorly. Thus, the notification came after users had already paid, creating a climate of widespread doubt. So much so that many residents believed they were being claimed for amounts they had already paid and had to waste time going to City Hall to have the situation explained.
The height of "absurdity," according to the PSOE, is that the document sent indicated that its validity expired on September 5, and some people received it up to 10 days later.
Unfair surcharges
The situation is worse for those who received the notification on time and, because of what they label as poor communication of the council, confused the validity period of the document with the payment period of the tax (which ended earlier). These people, according to the PSOE, were charged a unfair surcharge for paying late and, after a river of protests, they had to be removed, with the consequent overload of the collection service.
Criticisms of municipal communication
For the Socialist Municipal Group, as indicated by its spokesperson José Chulvi, "We already warned you that this would happen."Chulvi assured that "It's unheard of that a City Council that has such a strong propaganda activity on social media, often to report irrelevant matters, has failed to launch an information campaign to clarify the issue for residents. They've done nothing, not a radio spot, not a press insert, not a social media post, nothing.".
In this sense, Chulvi recalled that "We asked for a section to be set up on the municipal website so residents could check their situation with the new garbage collection and the change in the discount criteria, but they ignored us. The result is this chaos, the inconvenience to thousands of users, and the lamentable image the City Council has created.".
Good morning, I completely agree. The garbage collection process was a disaster. They charged us a tourist tax we didn't have. We filed a complaint, but the first time they ignored us, and the second time they told us it would take months to refund my overpayment. What a shame! Also, garbage collection in Costa Nova (and I think throughout the city) is a complete disaster... shameful!!! I wish I could speak to a municipal official...
Thank goodness the PSOE says so, they were a very clean and organized people, they stood out for their great management capacity in the Chulvi legislatures: works paralyzed (auditorium, the institute, the Triana bridge, the second Montañar, Thiviers...), one year one cape catches fire, the next the one opposite (and when it doesn't, the landfill catches fire and there are months of "putting it out is impossible" until it comes out in the press).
People highly qualified to criticize. They left us with manually opened dumpsters, the worst period of filth in Jávea, zero police presence, frozen funds at the town hall, and several successful establishments closed due to sheer incompetence as they tried to overcome COVID...
Excellent comment from Churgi. I couldn't say it better.
The PSOE's opposition is pitiful.
It's happened to me. What they've done to us with the bills is a disaster and a scandal. It's shameful. Is there nothing we can do about this appalling management? Are we left with paying? What a shame for Jávea.
More than a nonsense, it's a complete botch-up and further evidence of the city's incompetence at all levels.
Don't worry about the impact this will have on the city's image, which has been in tatters for years and continues to be so.
PSOE, wake up. No more Chulvi.
You're not going anywhere like this.
