MASSIVE LAND DEAL<br />
AN 80-year-old woman<br />
suffered just minor injuries<br />
after her car turned<br />
over on a Torrevieja road<br />
last Friday night.<br />
The incident happened<br />
at the junction of Calle<br />
Orihuela and the Ricardo<br />
Lafuente roundabout at<br />
11.15pm, after the driver<br />
SAN FULGENCIO´S local police<br />
made an unusual seizure recently,<br />
as they took away three adult<br />
Greek Turtles from a property in<br />
the municipality.<br />
The turtles are a protected and<br />
endangered species, and are found<br />
across southern Spain and North Africa.<br />
by Alex Trelinski<br />
lost control of her car, which<br />
then lit a lamppost, and then<br />
overturned.<br />
The carriageway heading<br />
towards Avenida de Cortes<br />
Valencianas was blocked for<br />
30 minutes, as firefighters<br />
freed her from her vehicle.<br />

They can live up to an average of<br />
125 years, with some unconfirmed<br />
reports suggesting that 200 years has<br />
been achieved.<br />
The turtles are being looked after<br />
by a vet at the Species Recovery Centre<br />
at Santa Faz in <strong>Alicante</strong>.<br />
THE TORREVIEJA-BASED TM Real<br />
Estate Group has spent 30 million<br />
euros on buying a third of the last<br />
large available area of land available<br />
for property development in the city.<br />
TM has bagged part of the old farmland<br />
at La Hoya between the San Luis-El<br />
Chaparral urbanisation and the<br />
N-332, with the company planning to<br />
building two thousand homes.<br />
La Hoya has the capacity for 7,490<br />
properties on an area of nearly two million<br />
square metres, and is the largest<br />
piece of developable land in <strong>Alicante</strong><br />
Province.<br />
Despite approval for the land to be<br />
built on a decade ago by the Valencian<br />
government, nothing has happened<br />
due to the recession as well as a whole<br />
series of legal hitches and changes, including<br />
an environmental impact study<br />
concerning the adjoining natural park.<br />
TM had hoped to start building work<br />
earlier this year, but final changes<br />
need to be made in regard to environmental<br />
issues to satisfy Valencian government<br />
rules.<br />
