Having just done an article about the pine clearing on Cerro Gordo within the February issue of the Gazette and it now being at the printer... more news arrives.
The regional Board of Agriculture has just opened an investigation into the wiping out of 4.3 hectares of pine forest to make way for an avocado plantation.
The trouble is, as you will read in the paper, edition article on the subject, the landowners received permission from the Town Hall with the approval of the Junta itself…
Benavides is having a field day and the Mayor will now have something more to worry about other than hiring a company convicted of corruption to build the new municipal market.
The Junta is not likely to contradict itself nor cause waves for a Mayor belonging to its own party, so you can be pretty sure that the investigation will find that all was legal and above board… even though the massacre of the pine-covered hillside is mind bogglingly illogical.
Anyway, you can read up on this in the February edition of the Seaside Gazette, which should be hitting the streets on the 1st of February – you will find it in the Costa News section.,
