Albox parents want new home for music school

The parents and teachers students at the Conservatorio elemental de Musica de Albox, the Albox
elementary music conservatory, have complained to the town's mayor, Jose Garcia, about the unacceptable conditions the children have to study in after the council promised to move the conservatory this year. They claim that the mayor said last December that the conservatory would be housed in the new multiple uses building in the town for the 2008-2009 academic year. The mayor has responded to the parents, telling them that the new building is not suitable for use as a conservatory as it is not soundproofed and does not meet necessary safety requirements for this function.

The conservatory is currently housed in a building which is more than thirty years old and, according to teachers and parents, has not been maintained. They claim that it has problems with damp, that the electrical installation doesn't work with sockets that need to be hit to make them work and that the toilets are broken. The mayor himself has said that the building is in a lamentable state but that adapting the new multiple uses building so it could be used for teaching music would be very costly.
