Marbella calls on top legal ‘wise men’ to help it solve its town-planning deadlock

:: H.B. / M.P. MARBELLA. Faced with a legal town-planning maze of epic propor- tions, Marbella council has appointed a panel of top planning academics to help it find a way out. Marbella has been going through years of turmoil since widespread planning abuse and illegal construction in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 2010, the council approved a new master town plan, which aimed to compensate for the offences and clarify the legal situation for investors. However this plan was rejected by the Supreme Court and since then the town hall has had to fall back on a woefully outdated plan from 1986 for its day-to-day decisions. Some 30,000 properties are still officially illegal. The team formed to help the council get out of this legal confusion is headed by four top Spanish university professors and has just won a 170,000-euro tender under a proposal led by the University of Malaga. Seek- ing external help in this way is unusual but business leaders have welcomed the move. The ‘think tank’ will review legal issues related to the rejection of the 2010 plan and prepare the groundwork for a new plan. 16 April 21st to 27th 2017 NEWS FOCUS ON FINANCE SUR IN ENGLISH

‘Fast’ Eddie Clarke, former guitarist with legendary British band Motorhead, talks at his Marbella home about the value of live music

:: MÓNICA PÉREZ MARBELLA. He proudly wears a T-shirt bearing the name of his current band Fastway - which comes from his nickname ‘Fast’ (from the movement of his fingers on the guitar) and the surname of UFO bass player Peter Way - but in his heart he is still part of Motorhead, one of the most famous names in British heavy metal, with whom he toured the world in the 1970s and 1980s.

The lack of attention given to endometriosis reached the Span- ish parliament last week, with a proposal by the Unidos Podemos political party which was approved unanimously. The proposal, which described the condition as a “great silent epi- demic”, called for a national strategy, with the agreement of the regional communities, to improve the way the illness is dealt with and increase the funding for research. In 2008 the Observatory of Women’s Health had already produced a guide to treating women with endometriosis, but the associations of those affected say that most doctors are still unaware of its recommendations. Endometriosis is classified into four levels of severity, a system developed by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. These range from small lesions to serious health problems which can result in organs having to be removed, temporary or permanent disability or even death. Although there is no cure yet, early diagnosis is key to preventing complications and minimising symptoms.

The doctors believed she was exaggerating her pains, which began when she started menstruating. “I kept fainting at school, and I only weighed 42 kilos. They took me to several health service and private doctors, but nobody realised what was wrong with me,” she says. When she became pregnant at the age of 20, the pains diminished in intensity but soon afterwards they came back “and were five times worse.” A gynaecolo- gist at the Materno hospital, who has now retired, finally diagnosed endometriosis. “He saved my life,” she says. Two cysts measuring 11 and 17 centimetres were found in her ovaries. She had appendicitis and acute peritonitis and she was prescribed Decapeptyl, a medication used for prostate cancer and in assisted repro- duction treatments to control ovarian function. Now she has relapsed again, after several months without serious complications. “It is an illness that destroys relationships, because the treatments and drugs cause mood changes and there are times when it is impossible to have sex. People around you can’t understand. They think you’re being feeble because you can’t put up with period pains,” say these survivors, who are keen to raise awareness of this condition.
