The Forum and traders.
An observer of municipal life in Nogent-le-Rotrou, the civic association Le Forum published an article on its blog on the work in progress on Place Saint-Pol. She wishes to “alert” the municipality on the consequences of the work on the activity of traders. “The decline in turnover is dramatic, which could compromise, for some, the survival of their business. It was foreseeable that the carrying out of heavy development work in the city center would have consequences on commercial activity. It must be accepted in the hope of having, at the end of the works, an improved and more attractive town centre. But should we leave traders alone to face their difficulties? The law provides for the possibility of compensation in the event of a significant loss of turnover”, underline the members of the association who are organizing a press point on Tuesday.
