If the municipal council of Aulnay-sous-Bois had approved the change, residents do not agree that their rue Maxime-Gorki becomes rue Jacques-Chirac, reveals 

Le Parisien

.

The installation of the plates is scheduled for Monday.

“They could have consulted us before.

We are faced with a fait accompli.

One day, I went to town hall to discuss it.

I was received by a municipal councilor who answered me in short: "We were elected, we do what we want!"

», Explains a resident on a daily basis.

“Out of 58 addresses, I met 48 residents who expressed their desire not to change their address, ie more than 80%,” he assures us.

"An autocratic political choice"

For its part, the municipality considers that the mobilization of residents is instrumentalised by the elected opposition, who denounce "an autocratic political choice" which results from "the abolition of the consultative commission of street naming by Bruno Beschizza in 2014", specifies the daily. 

“All administrative costs that could result from the change of address” will be covered by the town hall.

But the inhabitants could maintain their mobilization.
