Fate is clearly set against Saint-Jean-le-Blanc. This Friday, November 8, in the evening, the city's busy center was ravaged by a very violent fire. An investigation is still underway to determine the origin of the fire. But one thing is certain: the building will have to be completely rebuilt. While waiting for insurers to look into the matter in the coming days, the priority at present remains the care of children. This outdoor center welcomes 120 every Wednesday and during school holidays. “The children will initially be welcomed within the Jean Bonnet school group, which is located right next to the recreational center. For the future, we are working on lasting solutions” explains Thierry Charpentier, the mayor of Saint-Jean-le-Blanc.
It's a new disaster that hits the city, three months after the fire in the Montission space during the month of August. The fire started from the roof following a problem with the photovoltaic panels. In a context where the State is asking communities to tighten their beltscan these two disasters – and the costs generated – slow down certain projects of the Saint-Jean-Le-Blanc town hall? “For Montission, insurance will cover almost all of the damage” says Thierry Charpentier. “For the recreational center, we may have costs inherent to relocation, transport costs.“If he recognizes that these two fires will not go away”not facilitate the management of the municipality's accounts given the context“, no project from the town hall – like the health center expected to open in 2025 – will not be affected underlines the chosen one.
