Doctors, businesses and prawns

For 2025, the first project announced by Claude Decuypère is the complete renovation of the square serving the town hall and the church. “The GR1, a long-distance hiking trail, passing through this place, the objective is to make this place a pleasant place where residents and hikers can relax. »

Then, the first building of the old radars, and the only building not to have been renovated in 2024, will be in 2025. It will accommodate a new physiotherapist centerthe current premises having become too narrow. “In this same place, three new offices will be open for rental. » Still on the medical side, “a nephrologist-diabetologist has been established in the town since January 6, and before June, a third general practitioner will open an office,” continues the mayor.

Finally, the project which will punctuate the year 2025 of the municipality is that of the shopping street. Indeed, as mentioned during the 2024 greetings ceremony, a mini commercial zone should see the light of day at the end of 2026 with “work scheduled to begin in October 2025.”

This street will be surrounded by commercial, artisanal and medical activities. » Indeed, this “entire creation at a strategic location” should consist of a small supermarketa garden center, an auto center, a hard discount storea laboratory, a nursery, a brewery and a pharmacy.

This is why the municipal council was attracted by this private project. It was the only solution to save our pharmacy, which had no buyer, and which, with this project, attracted a new pharmacist,” concludes the councilor, satisfied.
