Committee Work

Space Development
The development of a local town planning intercommunal plan has been in progress since 2003 and should be finished at the beginning of 2006. This urban planning document should allow us to plan the development of our area for the coming decade and offer the Community’s inhabitants new perspectives. To date, the research consultancy appointed to carry out this mission is in the process of developing a land diagnosis and a Long-lasting Conversion and Development Plan.
In order to keep services for the population, the Community foresees building a Public Service House in the La Force commune. This building would house the Revenue Office, the Social-Medical Centre, the Intercommunal Social Action Centre, and the Community of Communes’ headquarters. The purpose of this House is to develop and maintain services (social, economic...) for the population. This building should be available in 2005.

Actions for Economic Development
The first year of the Community’s existence saw the construction of a relay workshop in the Prigonrieux commune, furthering the establishment of new economic activities in the area.

In fact, the company France Etude Electronique has moved in upstairs and there are plans for new economic establishments on the relay workshop’s ground floor in the future. This building has a surface area of about 300 square metres. It is located in Prigonrieux, Rue Jules Ferry, behind the church. To develop economic action, the Community’s elected officials worked on creating Economic Activity Zones that provide a high-quality welcome to businesses wanting to move into the area, and, moreover, offer new jobs. This project is being studied in the framework of the intercommunal PLU.


Protection and Development of the Environment
Ever since the Community was created, a Non-Collective Public Decontamination Service (Service Public d'Assainissement Non Collectif (SPANC)) is being carried out. This service will control autonomous decontamination installations, as required by the 1992 Water Law.

Housing and Living Environment Policies
Our area is confronted with problems in terms of rental housing. To overcome this lack, the elected officials want to define a program of housing construction to assure the best conditions of welcome for new arrivals. This action should further the social mix and result in a better distribution of the housing built (type, establishment...).

Cultural Policy
In the concern that the public have access to the greatest number of cultural tools and reading material, the elected officials decided to transfer the area’s two libraries (La Force et Saint Pierre d'Eyraud) and the multi-media library (Prigonrieux) to the Community of Communes to further the development of an intercommunal network.
This network should allow the Community to provide a variety of cultural media and bring high-quality, egalitarian service to the whole area.
Opening a reading space in Fleix is being studied.
Still within the framework of cultural policies, the Community has been helping with cultural creation since 2003 (art exhibits and lectures, demonstrations...)
Furthermore, in partnership with the Regional Council, the Community subsidises certain community projects.

Creation and Development of Community Highways
Within the framework of Community activities, the member communes transferred around 50% of their communal roads to the Community. Today, the development and maintenance of the roads are an intercommunal responsibility. Between 2002 and 2004, around 600 000 € were invested in these Community roads. Moreover, an intercommunal technical team is mobilised to assure the maintenance work.
