“It’s a source of pride for the community and a real recognition of the ambitions of the City.” This Thursday, in the technical services workshops, rue Pierre-Mendès-France, the presentation to the teams of the Biodiversity Prize took place, awarded this year by the Villes et Villages Fleuris association. A distinction that Paimpol was, this year, the only one to obtain in Brittany, recalled elected official Michel Dumail a few weeks ago (Le Télégramme of November 20). “The Region was very, very impressed. They told me, smiled Mayor Fanny Chappé, also a regional councillor.
The “Biodiversity Booklet”, in particular, which explains in detail the approach undertaken for flowering, but also the development (such as the rehabilitation of Avenue Gabriel-Le Bras or that of Poulafret Park) and maintenance at daily, will probably be taken up, as a reference, by other communities. “It is an illustration of the resources granted, of course, but also and above all that of your know-how,” congratulated the elected officials.
Objectives and methods
A distinction which is not the only prerogative of green spaces either. “They spend a lot of time and energy on it, of course. But to obtain what is directly visible, there is also the work of many other people,” confides the director of technical services Aurélien Griveau.
A complementarity that Le Télégramme had already been able to observe in the Paimpol cemeteries, in October. And which, beyond the simple All Saints' Day, involved numerous passages throughout the year. And even the occasional intervention of Casci.
To achieve what is directly visible, there is also the work of many other people.
“If we take the example of eco-grazing, in Malabry, it is also particularly telling,” continues the director. “We have many trades directly involved. There are the gardeners, of course, but the construction of the shelter and the fences required the intervention of carpenters and ironworkers… We have the green spaces, the cleanliness department, the roads, the building agents and even the sewer workers…”.
A complementarity also at work at the municipal campsite, too, for example. “Giving yourself the means to achieve your ambitions means setting goals but also implementing innovative methods,” notes Fanny Chappé. And year after year, training to always be perfected.
