The members of the Gambetta local interest committee met on Tuesday evening in the Benoite-Groult room for their traditional general meeting. The opportunity to meet and take stock of the hot issues of the district, a real locomotive of the town, in the presence of Mayor Jean-Pierre Giran and several of his deputies.
The future of the “golden triangle” (Portalet, avenues des îd’Or and De-Gaulle) obviously occupied a large part of this assembly.
In the presence of Alain Laroche, referent of Var Aménagement Développement in charge of this vast project, the mayor gave an update on the next upheavals in the district.
“Disturbing but necessary work, insisted the first magistrate. When these developments have been completed, the entire town of Hyères will have been taken over (quoting the old town, Place Clémenceau, Editor’s note). The objective is to give gaiety, life to the neighborhood.”
On the modification side, all the coatings will be changed, the tree-lined roads, the street furniture “catastrophic in location and aesthetics” will be changed and a “thinking about flattening the top of avenue Gambetta, place du Portalet”, is in progress.
Overall project
Not to mention the revitalization of shops, the destruction and reconstruction of the hollow tooth, avenue des îthe d’Or. It was Alain Laroche who then continued with the explanations, including in particular the phasing of the work.
“It’s an overall project: heavy rehabilitation, demolition, reconstruction of certain parts, work on the commercial line”, not without underlining having taken note of the wishes expressed by the CIL in its gazette.
The avenue des Îles d’Or was last requalified
Phasing side: “Priority to shopping avenues. The work will be spread over a period from October to March with a break in the summer. We will start in October 2022 until March 2023 with Avenue De-Gaulle and Place du Portalet.
In parallel, “heavy construction” demolition and reconstruction of the hollow tooth avenue des îthe d’Or will be led. “When the structural work is done, we will finish the avenue des îles d’Or.”
The second phase of work will then concern the top of Avenue Gambetta.
The mayor then took the floor to recall some progress made in recent months. Regarding “the SFR building for which it is finally OK”. On “the premises opposite which are being rehabilitated and which we can hope to see occupied very quickly, we have our work cut out for us, he concluded. But when you do this type of development, it’s for the people.”

The Sainte-Marguerite clinic is not gone
In addition to the construction site of the three avenues, the future of the Sainte-Marguerite clinic came up several times among the questions of the members. The opportunity for Jean-Pierre Giran to recall “that she hasn’t left yet. There is a private project from the owner to unite his three clinics in the same place (in La Crau, Editor’s note). The town halls of Toulon and Hyères were never contacted by the owner.”
Repeating that “it is not done” faced with the many logistical and administrative constraints that the owner must or will have to face. “The ARS, which has not been contacted, thinks that it is destabilizing for the offer of care on TPM. There is a balance that cannot be broken…”
For its future center of clinics, a bar connecting it to the highway will also be necessary to serve it. A very complicated job to do. “It is also necessary to change the PLU which is an intermunicipal PLU. For it to be changed, the planned project must be of metropolitan interest, explained Jean-Pierre Giran. Let us be shown the interest for Toulon and Hyères of this move…”
So many arguments that suggest that the possibility of a move is not for tomorrow. “If by chance she should leave, but I’m optimisticinsisted the mayor, Hubert Falco and I have made a land reservation on the land to make it a public space. Don’t imagine that we could build 400 apartments in place of the current clinic. And to conclude by recalling that “no one can oppose the departure of a private clinic…”
