the angry Guillotière files a complaint against the City of Lyon
Garbage bags, pizza boxes and other rubbish lie a few meters from a glass container, rue Louis Dansard (Lyon 7). Further on, household waste extends over a large part of the sidewalk. The angry Guillotière association, very concerned with the life of the neighborhood and often critical of public authorities, has been denouncing these wild deposits for several weeks on Twitter. But this Monday, May 9 in the morning, Nathalie Balmat, president of the association, sees red and indicates that she intends to file a complaint against the City and the Metropolis for insalubrity. “The mayor of Lyon does not assert his police right concerning insalubrity. The Metropolis does not do the job for the piles of garbage next to the composters, which remain there for days, ”she protests.
“If that’s all to get them moving, I’ll spend my life at the police station”
The latter swears to have warned the public authorities on numerous occasions, in particular by reports on the Toodego platform, dedicated to indicating the location of illegal dumps to the Metropolis which then takes care of evacuating them. “At some point, enough is enough. This morning was once too much, ”choked Nathalie Balmat.
This is the first time that the association has appealed to justice. “If that’s the only thing to make things happen, I’ll spend my life at the police station. It’s unfortunate, but the streets must be clean,” she concludes.
