It is a rather serene municipal council that was held on Tuesday, April 25. With eleven councilors and four deputy mayors present (Florence Cabannes was absent), Mayor Jean-Claude Grenon developed the agenda.

Among the five points of the latter was the multidisciplinary health center. The plan is becoming clearer on this project estimated at 1.332 million euros excluding tax. The mayor developed and presented the choice of companies that submitted bids. “The 12 lots are filled out of a financial total that turns out to be lower than the initial estimate. »

For her part, Nadège Louassier, head of the list of four elected opposition members Agir Ensemble for Saint-Porchaire, denounced a lack of consultation. “Today we discover the choice of companies and the amount for each lot. “Working meetings took place and, until then, we had overall figures, but not the details,” retorted Jean-Claude Grenon.

The plans of the structure are now available for consultation at the town hall and the construction site will begin as soon as the grants are awarded with, ultimately, 20% being borne by the municipality.

Twinning

Another file, that of the Maison Marie-Bon, sister of Pierre Loti, where the academician stayed during his early youth. The rehabilitation work on the building is continuing according to the initial schedule. The inauguration is scheduled for Saturday 1^is July 2023 with the partnership of the Community of Communes Cœur de Saintonge which manages the tourism part of the sector.

Another program, that of 38^e anniversary of the twinning between the municipality and that of Soultzmatt-Wintzfelden (Haut-Rhin). A delegation of 40 Alsatians will be welcomed from Thursday 18 to Saturday 20 May. And as part of Eurochestries 2023, a group of German musicians will present a concert on August 2 in the church of Saint-Porchaire.

Finally, the elected officials awarded a grant of 300 euros to the Les P’tits Héros association, which works to teach first aid to children.
