A new marriage in sight for the municipalities of Creuse! Eight years after merging with Rimondeix, Parsac will join forces with Blaudeix. This merger will be effective on January 1, 2025. This new municipality will have 800 inhabitants: 700 from Parsac-Rimondeix, around a hundred from Blaudeix.
If at first this prospect did not enchant Fernand Bergeron, one of the former mayors of Blaudeix, he finally realized thefinancial interest that this merger represents. “Like many older people, I would have liked to keep Blaudeix but I quickly realized that Blaudeix could no longer live like that: the roads, the ditches, they are a little lacking so with the equipment from Parsac-Rimondeix it will be fine better”hopes this Creusois who spent 55 years of his life on the municipal council of his commune.
This merger will allow the municipalities to join forces. “If we want to continue to invest, we must all come together”estimates Yvan Guillemet, first deputy mayor of Blaudeix. “The goal is to pool costs. For example, we subcontract the trimming of hedges and Parsac has equipment. So they will amortize their investment and we will save money before being reinvested.” The municipalities have building restoration project in the town of Parsac and that of Blaudeix.
What name for this new municipality?
The elected officials chose the name of the commune: Parsac. “We will do as for other municipalities in Creuse, on the road signs it will be written: Blaudeix commune de Parsac. We keep our identity”underlines Yvan Guillemet, first deputy mayor of Blaudeix.
Less service in Blaudeix?
One point arouses concern among Fernand Bergeron, one of the former mayors of Blaudeix: “the town hall will be in Parsac, it’s further than Blaudeix so for people like me it will be difficult.” The mayor of Parsac-Rimondeix understands this concern about mobility, but François Riva assures that it will not be a problem. “For the town hall secretariat, nothing prevents there from being on duty for half a day per week in Blaudeix. The only point where we will remain a little separated is for the elections: there will be a polling station in Parsac-Rimondeix and another in Blaudeix.”
What future for the mayors of these two municipalities?
On January 6, 2025 a new municipal council will be elected. There will be a mayor and a delegated mayor so that the two current councilors remain in the municipal council until the end of the mandate in 2026.
