"I am writing you with tears in my eyes because I have just returned from the small park in my neighborhood" La belle rose "in Bègles, which offers hundred-year-old trees ... Only island of freshness with a little grass in the middle of all this concrete ... And I have just learned that it will be ransacked, concrete to build a 2.5-story building by Vilogia (social landlord) ”, writes Virginie, a resident of the neighborhood in the text of her petition for the preservation of trees, launched a few days ago.
A housing crisis to manage
Already more than 21,500 signatories have decided to support his approach which has also found an echo with the town hall of Bègles.
Mayor Clément Rossignol-Puech (EELV) announced in a press release the freezing of the construction project of 17 social housing units for three months "pending additional guarantees on its ecological component" and the launch of a dialogue with the collective inhabitants.
Olivier Goudichaud, deputy mayor responsible for sustainable town planning, recalls that in the city of Bègles alone, 1,000 requests for social housing are overdue.
Residents opposed to the felling of trees will closely follow the consequences of the affair.
For them the frost is only a first victory, they are waiting for the outright abandonment of the construction of the future building and the preservation of the trees in the park.
