MALLORCA TODAY - Son Saletes golf course is authorised by Council of Mallorca

The Council of Mallorca has approved the building of a golf course on the Son Saletes finca which lies predominantly in Sencelles and partially in Binissalem. The course has been declared as being in the "general interest", this despite opposition from Sencelles town hall. The debate at the Council, without mentioning names (or name to be more accurate), referred to "a friend of the Partido Popular" who is behind the golf course.

MALLORCA TODAY - Binissalem golf course set to go ahead

The Council of Mallorca seems likely to give the green light to the construction of a golf course on the finca of Son Saletes that lies partly in Binissalem and partly in Sencelles. The Council's decision would seemingly take precedence over any decisions of the two town halls (Binissalem has recently reversed a local order prohibiting the construction of a golf course). As mentioned in an article (http://alcudiapollensa.blogspot.com.es/2012/09/ventura-fairway-binissalem-and-golf.html), the promoter of the course is Ventura Rubí, the president of the Partido Popular in Sencelles, and also the father of the secretary for communication in the cabinet of the Balearics presidency.
