The railings on cala Lisboa santa ponsa on the public pathway are falling and there is a big drop at the other side but nobody is fixing them ? Does nobody inspect the public areas ? I would have reported it myself but I do not know who you would report it to and the drop is about 6m onto concrete !!
How very sad,my sympathies to her family.
Labour ditches project fear. Now both the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and top Labour MP Sir Keith Starmer admit that the UK can be better off after Brexit. But why has taken so long for Labour to ditch project fear ? Will.
These Balcony railings in Mallorca should be inspected as a matter of urgency. I have stayed in many Hotels etc. , and been appalled at their flimsy construction. Also, they are widely spaced, and small children could easily climb through . The very old balconies in many old Hotels etc., should have immediate emergency inspections. Especially those where the drunken 18 to 30 people climb between these dangerous, very poorly designed railings. With no guards to prevent climbing from balcony to balcony.It needs to be an urgent Winter Inspection of every property on the Island..
