If the municipal council of Virandeville (Manche), chaired by Stéphane Olivierhad a very short agenda, the debates which followed, as well as the various information, were very rich.

Presbytery

The mayor first informed the councilors of the diagnosis of the presbytery carried out by the Boisroux architectural firm, commissioned as part of the school extension project on the presbytery site. The report mentions a building in poor condition and requiring heavy rehabilitation : roof, frame, cracks in walls, floors, electricity, heating.

This report also indicates that the proposed requalification is not a wise choice, because it is technically complex and will not be entirely satisfactory. In addition, the cost of such an achievement is prohibitive. The chief magistrate then asked: “What to do with this building? “. Several proposals have been put forward: demolition, sale to an individual or a social landlord. The councilors also proposed involving the population to gather their opinions. A public meeting is planned for the spring.

School group

At the same time, the architectural firm initiated a new reflection by presenting a feasibility study for a school group of three classes, which would be built as an extension of the old nursery schoolwhich currently serves as a canteen.

On this site, the school, daycare and catering would be grouped together. The place is accessible, secure (far from the departmental road) and bucolic.

The premises vacated in the current school could accommodate the library, which is currently cramped under the town hall, as well as rooms potentially dedicated to local associations.

After a long debate, the council decided to continue the feasibility studywhich could lead to the construction of a new school.

Public toilets and forecourts

The mayor also took stock of the development of public toilets and the square in front of the library. Everything should be completed by the end of the month.
