The President clarified that the population of EPCI(Public institution for inter-municipal cooperation) has a total of nearly 520,000 inhabitants. ” It is possible for us to choose only one of the themes, it is à la carte, there is no obligation to adhere to the four “, explains Pierre Prat.
The CCPG therefore joins the mixed syndicate for a cost of €2,000/year. but in no case will there be a skills award on one of the themes “, he reassures.
At the heart of the project: the Rézo Pouce
Elizabeth Violadeputy mayor of Remoulinsa demand ” if the Occitanie region or the metropolis of Nîmes had proposed a similar project? Because, if that’s the case, why go to Grand Avignon? “.
“We are trying to push the network Rezo Thumb in the Avignon sector”
Muriel Dherbecourtmayor of Castillon du Gardalso challenged the president on the intentions of Grand Avigon:
” Has the Agglo come closer to us in relation to the line TER who just opened? “. ” Grand Avignon is the only agglomeration to have for the moment proposed to be part of such a mixed syndicate, answers Pierre Prat. Nothing prevents us thereafter from adhering to one or the other or even both in the future. I think that for mobility it can be interesting especially as we try to push the network Rezo Thumb in the Avignon sector “.
The mayor of Montfrin, Eric Tremoulet, took the opportunity to present his town, explain the various economic and tourist issues, detail the developments at the entrances to the village to improve security and what remains to be done.
