Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

I'm pleased to be able to report that the legal bill incurred in fighting off the ill-considered and baffling proposal to build a communications tower in ADM has now been paid and I'd like to offer my sincere thanks to to those who contributed to our legal fund. It has been a distressing and costly ...

Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

I've just heard there's a new tower visible on the coast side of EN125 in the vicinity of the International School. Has anyone got any clues as to what this is? There's also a story in the current Resident about a new coastal monitoring system for Portugal. But that's different from the SIRESP tower...

Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

I just saw this - been busy looking at other things on the site. This is really good news - and the reason given just adds more puzzlement to why they went so far as to actually put the base for the tower in ADM, which is much more heavily populated. Maybe we've started something. Maybe the authorit...

Re: thieving b'stards around the ADM

Given the time difference in my part of the world, I was a little late in spotting gambrinus' post. Just before we left three weeks ago we held an informal meeting to explore the possibility of starting up a residents' association. Given the transient nature of the place it is difficult to forsee an...

Tower RIP

Good news. I've just learned that Lagoa Camara has removed the unslightly box that would have contained the electronics for the tower that came close to disfiguring our neighbourhood. As they've promised to clear any infrastructure associated with the tower this is a very good sign. Just before we r...

Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

I'm posting this here - and also in the ADM section of the main Board Index of the forum, where I hope ADM residents and others will find an easy-to-access point of contact. Good news. I've just learned that Lagoa Camara has removed the unslightly box that would have contained the electronics for th...

Welcome

Welcome to ADM's own little corner on CVO.com. I hope this will provide residents, visitors and friends - no matter where in the world they may be - with an easy-to-find point of contact, rather like Pedro's restaurant/bar next to the water reservoir. Our recent scare with the proposed communication...

Re: Licensing for boreholes and septic tanks

I've read the info from AFPOP as well as the article in the Resident and the above posts. So I think I know what I need in terms of paperwork. But NOWHERE do I see how and where the registration takes place. Do we have to physically take it to the ARH in Faro? If that is the case, do they have the s...

Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

Ahem...Ahem...here is the news. We've won! The president of the Camara has told our lawyer - so it's official - the SIRESP tower will NOT be built in ADM. The preferred site now is on land by the lighthouse. Furthermore, the ugly box already in place and concrete base on which it stands are also bei...

Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

A delegation of residents from ADM and our lawyer met with the President of Lagoa Camara (The Mayor) and one of his councillors, Jaime Botelho. As was perfectly proper, the meeting was conducted in Portuguese, so my understanding of what transpired is based on what our lawyer (and our Portuguese nei...

Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

Here's the latest information: The Lagoa Camara had a meeting this morning (Thurs Apr 9) to review its actions on the tower in light of the realization the siting of the concrete base is in violation of its own building codes. Officially, the Camara's position is that while ADM is still a "viable" s...

Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

Thank you for all those encouraging posts about lawyers :D Naturally, we would prefer that common sense prevails over blinkered bureaucracy. However, if it does not, the only choices we'll have are living (or dying) with the consequences, or taking legal action. We have a little encouraging news and...

Re: Carvoeiro's new 40 mtr military com tower

According to the SIC-TV reporter, her story on Tuesday's protest should be on the main 8pm newscast "Jornal do Noite" tonight (Wed Apr 8). If, like me, your local TV reception is problematic, or the broadcast time inconvenient, use your computer to find "SIC Online" at: http://sic.aeiou.pt/online/no...
