In the Eure, residents voted no to the establishment of a supermarket in their town. The mayor had decided to organize a consultation in the face of the controversy and the response is clear.
It is in front of an inn that the supermarket was planning to settle in the town of Autheuil-Authouillet (Eure). But Anne-Sophie Moinet, manager of the inn, believes that the land can have another use. “5km around, we have three grocery stores that complement each other. (…) We would like a nursing home, a DIY store“, she explains. Faced with competition from the supermarket, residents want to support their traders.
222 against and 160 for
“We must not kill these small businesses, we need them“, says a resident against the supermarket project. Others are more mixed and rely on the development of the municipality. Rather favorable to the project, the town hall still wanted to decide using an astonishing method. On June 25, residents were able to vote. Result : 222 against and 160 for. The results must still be discussed with the department and the community of agglomeration.
