The arrival of a supermarket in a rural area is never trivial. Before the arrival of a Carrefour in Autheuil-Authouillet, in Eure, a village of less than 1,000 inhabitants, the mayor launched a citizen consultation.
The supermarket of Autheuil-Authouillet (Eure) could see the light of day on a field. Nearby merchants do not see the project in a good light. “We know that this land is going to be built. We do not know with what, but for the moment the Carrefour is not useful to the population“, believes Anne-Sophie Moinet, who would prefer”a nursing home” Or “a DIY store“.
Residents vote against
Like her, the inhabitants met on the morning of Monday June 26 by France Télévisions showed their reluctance. “I don’t see the point of such a business when we have ten supermarkets less than 10 km away.“, observes a man. Feeling the controversy swell, the town hall chose to consult its inhabitants: 222 votes against, 160 for. The project will not necessarily be abandoned.We cannot decide for Carrefour what they are going to do”explains Étienne Poulin, first deputy mayor.
