A row has broken out between Arboleas council and the Auan property rights association after the local authority took umbrage at a letter sent to Auan members in the town advising them of their position under recent property law changes.
Deputy mayor Roger Done, posting on Arboleas Forum, said the letter had “caused considerable distress to residents” while Auan president Maura Hillen said she was “disappointed and bewildered” by the council’s reaction.
Arboleas council publicly accused the Auan of telling its members that the council was following the “wrong route for regularisation of properties”.
