The mayor, Stéphane Barré, has made his calculations, and he assumes.

The note of the municipal swimming pool of Oissel-sur-Seine, at the gates of Rouen (Seine-Maritime), is too salty.

It closed on Sunday for six weeks.

Continuing to heat the two basins would not be reasonable, justifies the communist councilor of the city of 11,000 inhabitants.

"This decision was taken on the responsibility of the municipal majority, even though the government refuses any aid to municipalities faced with the increase in their energy bill", writes the city on its website, evoking "a context of uncontrolled increase energy courses.

In Oissel-sur-Seine, the swimming pool is the municipal equipment that consumes the most gas, indicates

Ouest-France

.

"From 40,000 to 165,000 euros in contributions for gas"

In

Paris Normandie

, Stéphane Barré details the bills: “For the past two years, the city has paid 40,000 euros in gas contributions for the months of January and February (for all public facilities).

For 2022, I am asked 165,000 euros!

» « To govern is to foresee.

And I do not see myself increasing the taxes of the inhabitants by 25 to 30%.

So, we anticipate, ”he justifies in the regional daily.

The heating of the communal rooms was also cut and the temperature reduced in the administrative premises.

While the decision is making waves, especially at the yacht club – which has yet to stop its activity after closures linked to Covid-19 – the first magistrate puts it into perspective.

“Everyone will understand that faced with the current international crisis and its repercussions on gas prices, it is preferable to close during this period rather than closing in the summer when the outside temperature mechanically lowers consumption”.

In any case, the swimming pool had to close (later) for aquathermy work.

It was decided to advance them.

The mayor claims in

Ouest-France

to have written to his deputy and raised his situation via the association of mayors of France.
