The city of Les Sables d’Olonne withdraws the issue of social housing from its vote.

“Are you in favor of the strict application of the SRU law which requires that the next 4,000 housing units built be exclusively social housing? At the invitation of the diverse-right mayor of the city the inhabitants of the Sands of Olonne were invited to answer 5 questions including this one from this Friday, November 18th. But at the request of the prefect of Vendée this question was withdrawn from the vote.

“We want our relations with the state to remain constructive and calm – indicates the mayor Yannick Moreau– This is why we agree to withdraw this question and hope that it leaves room for a sincere dialogue, to return to more realistic construction objectives”. The prefecture confirms for its part an official dialogue “constructive” with the town hall of Les Sables d’Olonne. The city is very behind in the construction of social housing.

We agree to withdraw this question and hope that it leaves room for a sincere dialogue. Yannick Moreau

On the other hand, the sandblasters will always be questioned on less sensitive questions such as the winter closure of the Remblai swimming pool to save energy, the banning of smoking on all the beaches of the city or the launch of a procedure against Orange on the deployment of fiber. This consultation on the internet or in 5 polling stations will take place from 18 to 26 November.

Mayor DVD Yannick Moreau is used to appealing to the inhabitants to decide on topics that may be controversial. We remember this referendum organized in March for the maintenance of the statue of Saint-Michel (94% yes out of 4593 voters). Statue that the Administrative Court then the Administrative Court of Appeal of Nantes requested that it be withdrawn from the public domain in the name of the separation of Church and State. The mayor seized the Council of State.
