The thirty Rouennais drawn in January to be part of the city’s first citizen council submitted their proposals, this Friday, to make Rouen a “resilient” city, that is to say one that overcomes obstacles. Proposals on various themes: transport, economy, urbanization …
“May our city become a clean, eco-responsible city!”
Citizens who seized this opportunity to give their opinion on the policies to be carried out in the city, like Patricia. And there is a subject that was particularly close to his heart: ” Education. If we educate the children, educate the parents a little, explains this retired nurse. If we educate the employees, we educate the citizen. May our city become a clean, eco-responsible city!”
Many suggestions…
And ideas, there are some in this 25 page document : carry out a survey on unsanitary housing, promote cycling for travel in town or even create a Rouennais label for agricultural products.
For Younès, 43, teleconsultant, it is now necessary to ensure that they are taken into account by the town hall. “I tell myself that there, the town hall cannot go back. I suspect that we are not serving as a surety. And I think that, yes, we were afraid to serve as a surety for the town hall on a project. “
…considered by the municipal council, in June
But the municipality has already announced it: not all submissions will be accepted as presented. Laura Slimani, in charge of local and participatory democracy at the town hall, reminds us: they will go before the municipal council in June. “Strong legitimacy is given to these proposals. Now, it is up to us, elected officials and cities of Rouen, to live up to the proposals made to us. So we’re going to work on it in the weeks and months to come.”
And to check that the town hall does not take his proposals lightly. A citizens’ assembly will be set up, of which these 30 citizens drawn by lot may be part.
