The heavy rains of this Sunday, May 4, 2025 in the Pyrénées-Orientales caused a flood in the police station of Perpignan, whose dilapidation is no longer to be proven.
“Since the time as we say, that this police hotel is no longer up to standard …“The agents of the PERPIGNAN police station once again paid the price for the dilapidation of the building on avenue Great Britain this Sunday, May 4.
The sky swept the Pyrénées-Orientales with a pouring rain. So much so that rainwater caused a sewer rise in the PERPIGNAN police station. And, more precisely, from the toilets installed in the cells. No choice: the custody of the day had to be evacuated. But no transfer had to be made. Armed with raclettes and water jets, the national police officers had to clean these sewer lifts before a specialized curettage company intervenes until the evening.
An anecdotal episode for some. But which proves, once again, the urgency of the move of the PERPIGNAN police station. A request on the table for… more than 10 years. Since 2023, the city of Perpignan has reserved the site of the former Catalan letters, Saint-Assle district, for the future police city. In “exchange”, the town would recover the current police station, avenue de Great Britain. To do this, it takes the agreement of the state. Always without official response to date.
