The mayor and local council - always keen to make improvements
to the village - have implemented several projects :
• Electricity (EDF)and telephone lines have been put
underground in the town of Montclar and the hamlet of Saint
Georges, La Bessaronnie and Pata.
• Public lighting: The second phase in the town of Montclar is
finished
• The village hall has been renovated and modernised and is
available for cultural and festive organisations.
A former bakery has been restored and brought up to the strict
hygiene standards required by the food industry and is now
back in business - not without much emotion and a few tears
from the older members of the community.
The bakery, called ‘La Tourte de Montclar’ produces bread of
such a high quality that its reputation has already crossed
the département’s boundaries.
The Church of St Georges's hamlet, with its Rita chapel has been re-roofed meaning that the 11th century, Romanesque
building no longer leaks. The church façade is improved by
appropriate public lighting.
A building to be used by the village’s associations which
serve for meetings, exhibitions, children’s workshops etc. was
renovated by a group belonging to the S.AG.E.S 24 reinsertion
programme.
Construction of a medical office for doctors’ office hours
Renovation pf the fountain in St Gorges and improving it with
appropriate lighting.
