Motorway misery for illegal home owners.
By Dave Jones.
A LAWYER acting for residents in Catral has called on all home owners in the municipality to help stop the proposed AP-37 toll motorway.
The project could see dozens of rural homes demolished in the Vega Baja with owners of 'illegal' homes receiving derisory compensation.
The favoured 'option four' route for the road will start at the AP-7 motorway and pass through Catral, Callosa de Segura and on to Orihuela - although the government is currently looking at seven other possible routes.
Connie Raymundo, the lawyer representing the CACAU association, has urged all Catral residents to present objections before July 5.
The owners of properties constructed illegally on rustic land which were set to be 'regularised' under the new Town Plan (PGOU) have been told the road project has arrived at the wrong time.
"Almost all the houses affected will be considered illegal for expropriation purposes and the authorities will pay only for the land. Engineers have valued the costs of the expropriations and for rustic land they will be paying only six euros per square metre," she said.
