Thursday January 16, Didier Caminade, president of Fumel-Vallée-du-Lot, presented his wishes to employees and elected officials in the presence of Arnaud Bourda, sub-prefect, and Guillaume Lepers, deputy. Of his intervention, we will particularly remember the announcement of his withdrawal from public life at the end of the mandate. “I have experienced exceptional years and difficult times. I thank everyone who allowed me to get where I am, first the former mayor of Cuzorn, then Jean-Louis Costes, and I regret nothing. In 2026, I will leave my mandate and take time for myself and my family. »
If there was no question of it on Thursday evening, this announcement, which surprised no one since it was expected, will undoubtedly open the race for succession. Before that, the president and the general director of services, Sébastien Ribeiro, had, each in their own style, thanked the community agents for their work. Didier Caminade cited in particular those in the environment department “who do the dirty work and face insults and incivility from certain administrators”. He also thanked elected officials for “the solidarity which allows projects to move forward despite differences”, not without taking a swipe at the mayors, “not always grateful”, whom he urged to “further support the community in their commune” .
A slideshow allowed you to review your actions for the year 2024. The most significant for employees is the grouping of all services on avenue de l'usine. For the public, it was the implementation of the incentive tax and the upheaval that this caused in habits.
Health is better
It was always in two voices that Didier Caminade and Sébastien Ribeiro presented the projects for the year 2025. The first two concern the next installation of photovoltaic panels by the Reden company on the Tarkett wastelands in Cuzorn for which the building permit will be delivered soon and the protocol for the sale, to the same company, of part of the wasteland of the Fumel factory for an amount of 3.5 million euros (the price of the demolition).
-It is the good news concerning the medical presence that will most delight the inhabitants of the territory. From this year, a physiotherapist will arrive in Montayral, a dentist will set up in the multi-professional health center (MSP) of Saint-Sylvestre and a radiologist will open a consultation in that of Fumel. The latter files a permit to build a practice between the Fumel MSP and the pharmacy. Last announcement, and not the least, New Year's Eve has been selected for the future installation of an ophthalmological clinic specializing in corneal operations with the presence of four doctors. The building is expected in 2026. The latest project concerns culture with the ongoing study for the complete renovation of the Liberty cinema which should see the opening of a third room.
The school of arts orchestra concluded the ceremony in style.
