– Alpes de Haute-Provence –
The peasant confederation 04 opposes the town hall on a construction project. This project is called Chanteprunier – Saint-Joseph – Auguste Girard. On approximately 18 hectares of land, the construction of 400 housing units, activities, services and shops as well as various public facilities are planned.
An unthinkable project for the peasant confederation 04. She was present at the public meeting presenting the project this Wednesday evening. For Loraine Prunet, farmer in Forcalquier and spokesperson for the peasant confederation 04, it is a shame to further artificialize one of the best lands in the department.
“Where 20 hectares have already been artificialized, we are looking to artificialize an additional 15: it’s colossal!” L. Prunet
“When we read the public inquiry, it is detailed the quality of this land which has real agronomic value” adds the spokesperson for the peasant confederation. According to the agricultural organization, the town hall is promoting the retirement of a farmer. ” Did they really look for a buyer? » asks Loraine Prunet, while organizations exist to carry out earth transmissions.
“These lands must be protected, it is what we call the green belt of Manosque, the quality of which is excellent for crops and orchards. We must fight to ensure that they remain agricultural.” L. Prunet
