“The project concerning Saint-Yves requires reflection on its future use, writes the community advisor for cultural policy of Laval agglomeration, Bruno Fléchard. It is appropriate to define a broader and not purely heritage use for this wash boat and to allow as many people as possible to take advantage of this memory. »
In its letter sent to the Patrimoine en shared association at the beginning of December 2024, Laval agglomeration says it “worried” the state of conservation of the wash boat Saint-Yves. But does not provide, at this stage, any tangible information on its future. “This project, continues Bruno Fléchard, is part of the long term because it is at the heart of several interests, whether heritage, economic or educational. »
“No precise timetable”
Through the voice of Michel Rosiaux, president of Patrimoine en shared, the association notes the “recognition of the heritage importance of Saint-Yves », on the part of the Agglo. Shared heritage also concerns, “the absence of a precise timetable for a complete restoration” of Saint-Yves. What arouses on the part of the association, “questions and concerns about the desire to respond quickly to the expectations expressed. This situation reinforces our vigilance and further determines our commitment to defending the importance and valorization of this unique heritage. indicates Michel Rosiaux.
