The first deputy at the town hall, Maxime Couston, explains the objectives of this work which is “not yet completed”.

The part of the central reservation of Boulevard Lacombe located opposite La Poste in Bagnols-sur-Cèze was tarred last week. On social networks, this work aroused curiosity and great incomprehension among the Bagnolais. "We move the small market on Friday and Saturday local producers from Place Boulot on Boulevard Lacombe, indicates Maxime Couston, the first deputy. They carried out their job in conditions which were not necessarily pleasant. It was necessary to tarmac for safety reasons. rsquo;hygiene. There was no need for absorbent flooring as there was, especially for odors." The elected official explains that residents were complaining about the smells of the fish market.

For now, the tar is trapping the trees. Which provoked criticism. The first deputy ensures that the work is not finalized. "Only the first phase has been completed. From May 13, we will frame each tree with a permeable covering which, at the same time, will prevent the grass from growing back. There will be nice borders."

With this new location, the town hall wants to develop this small market. Local producers who wish can even set up there every day. "It’s a very positive project that we have been working on for months, continues Maxime Couston. Lacombe Boulevard will be a more appropriate and dynamic place to organize the small market." The mayor, Jean-Yves Chapelet, adds that these work was carried out "in agreement with the traders".
