Ce jeudi 27 juin, les débats du conseil municipal de Millau ont abordé de futurs travaux d'aménagements (à l'école Jules-Ferry et à la Maladrerie).
Returning to the council room at the Town Hall after an "exile" of several years at the Halle Viaduc, the debates between municipal elected officials took, this Thursday, June 27 in the evening, a very practical turn. Concerning even since several work files were discussed in the short or medium term.
A synthetic pitch at La Maladrerie in September 2025
Jean-Pierre Mas, sports assistant, presented the municipal project concerning the transformation of a grass field into a synthetic field at the Maladrerie complex. "Around fifty teams use the current grass field with an average of 25 hours per week. It's intensive! This undermines good maintenance and no longer makes it possible to offer a good quality of play for football practice in the winter season in particular. The elected official also specifies "the necessary watering, every night, from May to September."< /em>
Hence the choice of a synthetic pitch " which allows playing seven days a week, twelve hours a day whatever the climatic conditions.< /em>" Jean-Pierre Mas adds the choice made by the City to create this land "with natural filling only (cork, corn cob or sand)" with, in the end, much less watering, no more fertilizer or phytosanitary products.
An investment of 1.1 M€ (including €206,000 from the Region, €41,200 from the Department, €261,150 from the City) and the hope of a subsidy from the ;National Sports Agency. "Our first request at 412,000 € was refused. We will reposition ourselves at the start of 2025 by asking for less."Preliminary studies for the works are announced in the first quarter of 2025 for works launched in April of the same year and delivery expected in September 2025.
Vegetation of Jules-Ferry schoolyards
Announced at the start of the school year last September, the project to revegetate the Jules-Ferry schoolyards (nursery and primary) was confirmed and detailed by Aurélie Eson, assistant in charge of the & #39;education. "The work will take place in July-August. Jules-Ferry is pilot for our schoolyard greening project." A project announced at nearly 400,000 € with funding expected from Europe (59,000 €), the water agency (100,000 €), the Region (78,000 € 😉 and the Department (39,000 €)". The City should provide 77,000 € self-financing.
"We worked with teachers and city green space agents and parents',& ;nbsp;details Aurélie Eson. "Certain elements, which are on the visuals, will not be there at first because some companies have not responded to our calls for information. offers. Plants are, of course, adapted. For primary schools, which have so far been very mineral, the changes will be spectacular."
