Then it’s time for debates for long minutes. “You play on wordsreplies Jean Mathieu, the general director. The majority is there. The provincial council took place on Friday, you could have informed me at that time. And at the time of the point during the installation session, you could also have done the reflection.”
Pol De Wachter, alderman, indicates that this position “is not very constructive. I had the same thought during the installation, I’ll be honest. But here, you are blocking everything. You could have asked the question to the General Manager.”
Willy Noizet continued. “I am not saying that the majority pact is not legitimate, I am saying that it is not respected. We must vote out loud, this has not been done. I do not doubt good faith of everyone, but you have continued to repeat that the Code of Local Democracy governs the laws and advice If we do not apply it, we are illegal. And this is the case. The supervision confirms this. that I say. I wouldn’t want to. that the decisions taken since December 2 be invalidated. A council must be reconvened to do things according to the rules.”
“We will send an appeal to guardianship”
What the majority did not do, which decided to continue the session. Without the seven opposition councilors who decided to leave the room. “Because we believe that this council is not being held legally. We will therefore return to supervision. The goal is not to slow down, but to make things legal.”
The budget ends as usual, with an overall bonus of €217,235. “Everything is planned to ensure the proper functioning of services by anticipating as best as possible”, indicates Denis Rouleff, Alderman of Finance. As for the extraordinary, “we have provided additional credits for certain large-scale projects already in progress. There is a desire to initiate several projects to replace water pipes and a sewer collector. Furthermore, developments in cemeteries will continue and we will pay attention to certain works requiring compliance or repairs Without forgetting the extraordinary maintenance of the roads where a budget of €150,000 is planned.
In the absence of a minority, the points were obviously voted on unanimously in record time.
The council voted on the allocations to the Emergency Zone and the Police Zone. The amounts? Respectively €295,516 and €457,130.
Furthermore, in terms of public lighting, the college has an automatic lighting project for the Tram track. “An intelligent and automatic urban lighting project to allow circulation in this location and the safety of this route used by pedestrians and possibly bicycless, this Marie-Julie Nemery. This project should be finalized during the year 2025.”
