Residents of Las Mimosas and Las Chismosas in Orihuela Costa have launched a petition and will take their complaints directly to Orihuela City Council over what they describe as the continuing deterioration of essential municipal services. Residents claim the street is regularly covered with litter and waste and receives insufficient sweeping and cleaning. Las Mimosas Park is also described as being in a state of neglect. According to residents, rubbish, rubble and other waste have accumulated inside and around the property, while damaged fencing surrounding nearby plots and homes has encouraged further illegal dumping. Residents are also demanding the complete clearance and regular maintenance of Las Mimosas Park, including cutting back vegetation, removing waste and animal excrement, repairing damaged facilities and reducing the fire risk.
