Cédric Van Styvendael (center), mayor of Villeurbanne (Rhône) and Pascal Mailhos, the prefect, went to Tonkin and made some announcements on security in the neighborhood.
Tuesday, January 26, 2021, Cédric Van Styvendael and the prefect of the Rhône they met. First at the police station Villeurbanne (Rhône), then to Tonkin district.
The mayor assures us that they were there to “thank the teams that are mobilizing, whether it is national or municipal police”.
It was also (above all) an opportunity to take stock of the last few weeks and to make announcements.
“There were more than 40 operations for the month of November and December, several tens of kilos of drugs were seized, the first results are there” welcomes the socialist councilor.
Pascal Mailhos agrees: ” There is considerable work, particularly in the fight against narcotics, great deals, a lot of work on the rodeos and some inconvenience for the locals. “
Cédric Van Styvendael specifies:
“I’m not saying that it changed the lives of the inhabitants, of course I am not satisfied with that and the inhabitants of Villeurbanne either. Tonkin encounters a number of difficulties, particularly urban ones, so there are projects that must be carried out. “
More human resources deployed in Villeurbanne
Le Villeurbannais then goes into the concrete:
- Strengthened operations in a sector considered a priority by the previous teams around Lakanal. This was voted on Monday in the metropolis. “One day we will have to ask the national agency for urban renewal” adds the mayor.
- Recruitment of municipal police officers: 41 officers currently, 46 in April, 51 at the end of the year. Objective: to have 75 agents at the end of the term.
- The metropolis voted in favor of the creation of two additional prevention educator positions
- The State will support the municipality to recruit new mediators, “Which work well in Jacques Monod, to go to eight mediators when today there are two
- A request for additional staff national police. “I wrote to the Minister of the Interior to ask that Tonkin be classified as a republican reconquest. “
“There is still a lot of things to do” concedes Cédric Van Styvendael, but he assures him: “We are at work. We are not asking questions here, ‘what can we do Mr. Prefect’, I think we are all aware of the urgency to intervene ”.
We don’t do it in a cowboy style either by coming to an opportune event on which we can mobilize by telling something.
He has a thought for the inhabitants: “We do a shared work that is sometimes a little tense with the representatives of the inhabitants. We saw the peaceful Tonkin collective, which is in a constructive dialogue with us, there is angry Tonkin, with whom it is sometimes a little more tense, but i can understand it. »
He specifies: “These groups are seen almost every two weeks by the teams and the security assistant”.
The mayor has made an appointment with his constituents “in a few months”, “so that we can give them an account of the action we have taken. “
The appointment is made.
