A house in La Siesta in Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca has been left unfinished for 14 years .The Town Hall has requested that the plot be cleaned up and that a wall be built around the property to keep out vagrants and others .It has become a centre for anti-social behaviour .An order was issued to the owners at the end of December 2008 to get the work done within a three month period .The Town Hall knows that the order has been received .A representitive of the Twn Hall will now check on the property and if the work has not been done an embargo will be placed on the account of the owner to withdraw 10 monthly amounts of money to cover the cost of the work .Once the money has been paid then the work on the property will begin .

The owner has asked for more time to do the work and says that he has a potential buyer .However this is a ploy that he has used before and he has never fulfilled his obligations.This accessing of people’s bank accounts without as much as a ” by your leave ” is truly a very scary thing for the state to be able to do .Tere have to be other methods of acquiring what is needed from a citizen .
