Hostilities were launched before the first item on the agenda was addressed, Thursday, May 11, during the Chartres municipal council. Several subjects have made elected officials of the municipal majority react.
The interventions focused in particular on the participation of Jean-François-Bridet (Chartres Écologie) in the anti-basins demonstration on March 25, in Sainte-Soline, on the closure of the gardens of the bishopric for security reasons or on the extension of the duration of the Saturday morning market, place Billard.
Why was the market extended by one hour on Saturday morning in Chartres?
Following criticism, Guillaume Bonnet, deputy for the improvement of the living environment, wanted to justify the City’s decision to extend the market by one hour, until 2 p.m., since April 1. The elected spoke more particularly to Jean-François Bridet.

“An open-air market commission met on November 22 and the change in market hours was discussed with the non-sedentary merchants who are members of this commission”, rewinds Guillaume Bonnet. “You say it’s a unilateral municipal decision. When we don’t know and we don’t participate in commissions, we keep quiet. »
According to the deputy mayor, this discrepancy responds to a security issue. “Traders have big trucks. When they left between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m., that was when there were the most pedestrians,” he says.
The mayor goes even further. Jean-Pierre Gorges says:
“The real starting time for non-sedentary traders would rather be 6 p.m. and we would have a market day.”
What is this 112-unit program planned for rue Raymond-Isidore?
A deliberation on a construction project of 112 housing units, rue Raymond-Isidore, was much discussed. This program will be carried out by the company Nexity and the Société d’économie mixte (SEM) Chartres développements immobiliers, which will carry out a second real estate project, comprising six social housing units and a shop, rue de la Poêle Percée and place de l’Etape-au -wine, in the hypercentre.

The four elected members of the Chartres Ecology group voted against this deliberation, adopted by a majority of votes. Olivier Maupu (Chartres Ecology) denounces:
“In the Madeleine district, a few meters from the Mathurin-Régnier college and the Rosskopf sports complex, you are proposing to concrete a whole green space. A green space of nearly 9,000 m². It is totally anachronistic and revealing your true motivations: to make money, to promote public land.”

An intervention that put Jean-Pierre Gorges upwind. “You say that we are destroying a public space in the City, but that is not true. This is a private space,” he replies. “You are confusing the Madeleine and the Hauts-de-Chartres. These are not green lungs, but urban wastelands. We broke down old buildings in Hauts-de-Chartres. They were slums. »
When century-old chestnut trees threatened with felling return to the carpet
The debate escalated over the thorny subject of trees in the city. The signing of an agreement with the association Arbres, for the awarding of the Remarkable Tree label to Ginkgo biloba from the horticultural garden, was nevertheless approved unanimously.
But Quentin Guillemain’s amendment (Chartres Écologie), proposing that the City of Chartres sign the Declaration of Tree Rights, was rejected by the municipal majority. “This would allow situations, such as that of the century-old chestnut trees, not to happen again”, estimates the elected ecologist, before denouncing the “climatoscepticism” of the mayor.

An assertion refuted by the person concerned. “I am not a climatosceptic. I saw that the earth had cycles. But you want to prevent people from living, ”tackles Jean-Pierre Gorges.
After several interventions, the mayor tries to cut the discussion short. “We will have to take you out,” he said, addressing the bench of elected officials from Chartres Écologie. Two of them – Jean-François Bridet and Brigitte Cottereau – then left the session a quarter of an hour before the end.
