Consell asks Balearic office of consumer affairs and industry for solutions to "deficient" local distribution of butane and propane cylinders

Ana Juan, president of the Consell de Formentera and councillor of commerce, has asked the regional offices of consumer affairs and industry to take the necessary steps to rectify problems affecting the supply of butane cylinders on Formentera.

In two letters to the Balearic directors general, President Juan highlighted "the numerous complaints received from the people of Formentera about Repsol Butano's failure to properly deliver butane and propane cylinders to households and businesses on the island".

"According to the information we have received, home deliveries face delays of several weeks. This is totally unacceptable, and represents a serious prejudice to our people. One can see how an ostensibly essential service is not carried out with the necessary frequency to meet our basic needs", said the president.
