In a desire to know the way you wanted to see evolve Sillé-le-Guillaume (Sarthe), the editorial staff of the Alpes Mancelles has decided to give you the floor.

When we decided to give a word to the Silléans in order to know how they wanted to see their municipality evolve, we expected some feedback.

Suffice it to say that we were pleasantly surprised by the hundred or so comments received via social networks and our email inbox.

A little craze which shows how much the town of Sillé-le-Guillaume important to a good number of citizens.

Faced with this compilation of returns constructive And developedseveral areas emerge on how the Silléans would like to see their municipality in the years to come.

Cleanliness highlighted

“Sad town”, “ghost town”, gloomy streets”… For many Silléans, the Sarthoise town has lost its aesthetic splendor.

“Weeds blooming”, “the number of pigeons which dirty everything”, “the canine defections which litter certain places”, some residents point the finger at the cleanliness of their commune. “Winning in flowering” would be a good idea for others.

In a similar area, some feedback expresses the lack of safety when traveling with one’s handlebars: “Many sidewalks are narrow and dangerous with the number of heavy goods vehicles that pass through Sillé. »

The passages under the bridges, route de Sablé and that towards the Super Uare particularly criticized by the citizens of Sillé.

A traffic ban for heavy goods vehicles in the town center expected

“What creates the desire to come to the heart of the city are the pedestrian paths and the feeling of being able to walk in safety. The cleanliness of public spaces is also a key element,” sums up one of the Silléans quite well.

In continuity, see the birth of a traffic ban for heavyweight in the town center is highly anticipated, but it is a very complex subject that has dragged on for ages.

A flourishing of commerce

Like many other French towns, businesses are fleeing Sillé. In a few years, the Sarthois town has lost a butcher, a butcher-caterer, two bakeries, a bar, a pizza restaurantA ready to wearA concert café bar And a florist.

The streets are plunged “in a certain slump with traders hanging on as much as possible”.

Especially since the lifeless premises leave “abandoned windows which only accentuate the sadness of the town”. Only the Republic Square seems to “live” for many.

For some, there is a certain incomprehension regarding the relocation of businesses to the route de Sablé: “It does not go in the direction of revitalizing the heart of the city. »

Revitalize Coco-Plage

Among the feedback, many approached the site of Coco-Beach. Unmissable place of Sillean landscapesome residents would like to see it gain in attractiveness, in addition to two campsitesof the Nautic base and Sillé zip lines.

“Coco-Plage is an asset, but the site needs to be revamped: popular concerts, theme days, offering one-day activity packages like in Brûlon,” suggests a resident.

For another, “the installation of a restaurant worthy of the name” would be welcome. Speaking of which, things are happening behind the scenes…

Gain in user-friendliness

For several months, the City of Sillé has been winning in animation thanks, in particular, to the takeover of the association of traders and craftsmen of Sillé. A positive trend that must be supported according to the Silléans.

The activities generate conviviality, just like the meeting places. For some, there is a gap in this area.

“We can talk, for example, about the mess behind the town hall and this “play area” with the little wooden train which is very unattractive, the water jet on Place de la République which is not of much use… The places do not live, do not make you want to stay and therefore consume. »

“The installation of a public garden or a square would be ideal to allow single people to meet people,” says a Silléen.

Create jobs

As one of our readers very well pointed out, Sillé lost a little more than 100 inhabitants, over the last ten years. A loss which inevitably has consequences on the economic aspect of the City.

In addition, it is necessary to remember that the majority of industrial jobs have been lost.

For many Silléans, the revitalization of their municipality requires “job creation by bringing in companies with a high hiring rate”.

“Without a settled human contribution, there will be no commercial dynamism. » As in the four corners of France, it is the sinews of war.

Carpooling, merger and safety

Among the many ideas disseminated, here is one that deserves to appear in our columns: “a carpooling zone to attract workers”, “a merger with St-Rémy and Le Grez », “reestablish a sense of security”, “renovate abandoned buildings to turn them into inexpensive housing”…

This compilation on the expectations of the Silléans clearly shows that they are just waiting to take ownership of their commune again.
