Actively prepare the metamorphosis of its boulevard maritimestay up to your label Blue pavilionrespond to the demographic challenge that presents itself to it …
At the controls of a seaside resort which wants to be flourishing and in agreement with its time, the municipality of Cayeux-sur-Mer, in the Sommehas work to do and she knows it.
What she also knows is that to keep the dynamics driven and continue to carry out all her projects, finances must be up to it.
And on this side, good news. The councilor JEan-Paul Lecomte said it during the municipal council of 15 avril 2025, devoted to municipal budgets:
“The result of exercise 2024 is the best never recorded since 2014 ”.
Controlled expenses, increasing revenues
“This is very good news” continued the councilor. “We end the year 2024 with a surplus of operation of 1 566 968, 35 €. It’s unprecedented ”.
Unpublished result yes, but above all deserved, according to him, as it is a reflection of the efforts made:
“We have managed to set up a healthy managementwith controlled expenses. »
Among the examples of positive transformations cited, the Belle Part was given to the evolution of municipal services.
When the municipality counted 52 employees In 2014, she now only counts 37, “Without preventing a job well done,” said the mayor, “thanks to seasonal workers who allow the charge to be better distributed”.
THE recipes Obviously also have their place in the explanation of this record figure, especially since there is also a reason for satisfaction on this side:
“The recipes specific to the municipality, that is to say the product of the proper functioning of the casino, beach bars or parliamentfor example, even if the latter reported less than in 2023, amounted to a million euros ! »
Last reason for rejoicing, for the councilor: the effect of these very good results on the rate debt of the town. 98 % in 2014, it fell to 27 % In 2025.
“The biggest budget of all time”
With this assessment with so many green seers, the municipality therefore considers itself armed to face the major projects that she intends to undertake.
And this results in a provisional budget for this year 2025 presented as “the Plus Gros Budget of all time for the town ”by Jean-Paul Lecomte: 11 940 000 €.
“In 2014, the budget was to 4 500 000 €. Consider the journey made over the past twelve years! »»
The councilor goes even further by already projecting itself on 2026at the risk of suggesting that the municipal elections that are fast approaching would be only a formality, might think.
“With the work on boulevard Maritime, the 2026 budget will be at least of the same ilk, if it is not even more important,” he said.
For the time being, this boulevard continues to undergo the preliminary work necessary for its transformation, with the third tranche renewal of its network sanitationwhich should start in this spring.
Among the other main expenditure areas, let us quote the road station up to 672 000 €including, among other things, a complete renewal of the signage of the city.
