Illegal Party
The Town Hall has stopped activities at the illegal ‘Plan Be' discotheque which held its opening party last week. The premises used to house the ‘El Pato Restaurant', which then changed name to ‘Novum', and is on the road between Santa Gertrudis and San Miguel. The owners applied for a music bar licence towards the end of last year, but this has not yet been approved. Events are advertised on the internet each Tuesday and Friday, starting on the 22nd of June, but the organizers will have to change their plans if permission is not granted. The opening party last week attracted more than 1,000 revellers and commenced at 4.00 in the afternoon continuing until well gone midnight, the event also having appeared on Internet. During the evening several complaints were made by residents concerning the noise.
The Town Hall maintains that the alterations which have been made are not legal and could be dangerous, both to party-goers and passers-by. Infractions of this nature may be sanctioned with a fine of up to 60,000€, and a Town Hall representative said, “We were greatly surprised about what happened. We are not going to tolerate activities which can cause a disturbance to the local residents or people who blatantly flaunt the lawâ€.
