Toulouse. The La Barque association will not be expelled on Friday
The La Barque association, based on the island of Ramier in Toulouse, has learned from the Town Hall that it can continue to occupy its premises for the moment.
Ten days of respite. This is what the members of the La Barque association, which welcomes vulnerable audiences in Toulouse, have. Last June, they learned that the structure will have to leave the premises that they occupy on the island of Ramier because of the redevelopment of the place designated by the Toulouse municipality.
“For several weeks, the volunteers of the Barque have been moving heaven and earth to prevent the closure of the day care center housed in the local Pulsator”, explains the association on Wednesday, October 19. ” The town hall of Toulouse we made it known thatshe gave up picking up the keys to the premises as planned this Friday where volunteers have been welcoming people in precarious situations since 2005. »
The association La Barque and the Town Hall of Toulouse must meet at the beginning of November
” The state of progress of the work on the island of Ramier allows the continuation of the activities of your association within the local Pulsator. This deadline will give us time to continue to work on ways to relocate your activity and thus avoid a break in your action. We already have an avenue to explore on Ramier Island. The services of the Town Hall have a working meeting next week to study what is possible to succeed in the targeted place, ”indicates the municipality in a letter unveiled by the association. The two parties should resume contact during the first week of November.
“We still need to be certain that those welcomed will benefit here, on the island, until the end of the winter break at least, from a place that shelters them from bad weather, several afternoons a week. We need time to help them get through these difficult months. The town hall must grant it to us, ”writes the association La Barque.
