A high-level tennis complex in Quimperlé – Quimperlé

The first funds of the brand new time period of workplace is a continuation of the earlier one. The mayor, Mickaël Quernez, recalled the course set through the vote of the preliminary funds of the City of Quimperlé: “We must control our operating expenses without lowering the quality of public services provided to the population and while facing the ‘unknown to the continuing pandemic’. The health crisis, which has already cost the City € 200,000 in 2020, should again weigh on the planned operating budget this year, which is down slightly (€ 13.31 million against € 13.42 million in 2020). The increase in personnel costs (€ 7.32 million against € 7.18 million) is offset by the decrease in general expenses (€ 2.99 million against € 3.11 million) and that of interest on the debt ( € 177,000 against € 193,000 for a capital of € 1.30 million to be repaid).

Despite these constraints, the amount of investments is ambitious, going from € 3.60 million last year to € 5.60 million in 2021 for structuring projects. “There could be no tasks undertaken with out searching for subsidies,” said the mayor who intends to take advantage of the windfall of the economic recovery plan.

“Biodiversity poor relation of the funds”

Thus the site of the House of services to the public, located rue de l’Hôpital-Frémeur, “very properly funded by the State”, according to the mayor, should be completed this fall. This rehabilitation (1.42 M €), started at the end of 2019, is one of the major achievements with the new tennis complex planned in Kerbertrand (1.14 M €). The renovation of the courtyard of the Kersquine school (174,500 €), the development of the surroundings of the future music conservatory (135,520 €) and the House of public services (205,645 € with the Dourdu valley), the repair of Brémond-d’Ars streets, de la Paix streets and the parking lot at Place Saint-Colomban, not to mention the installation of photovoltaic panels on the stands of the Jean-Charter stadium, the roofs of the Benoîte-Groult space, the Kersquine nursery school and the Lézardeau elementary school (for a total of € 170,000) complete the list of the main investments included in the program for the year.

“The price of the tennis complex is exaggerated”, regrets Michel Tobie. “Biodiversity and mobility are the poor relations of this funds”, adds his colleague from the opposition, Eric Saintilan, to justify the vote against the three elected members of “Quimperlé let’s resolve collectively”.
