Question 17545 — intercommunality

Summary

Mr. Jean-Michel Brard draws the attention of the Minister of Territorial Planning and Decentralization to the question of financial resources allocated to intermunicipalities, whose skills and responsibilities have continued to expand in recent years. Indeed, intermunicipalities, whether metropolises, urban communities, agglomeration communities or communities of municipalities, are today on the front line for implement essential public policies, such as ecological transition, economic development, waste management, and land use planning. However, their financial resources do not always seem to live up to expectations, in particular due to: the decline in state grants in recent years, which may have weakened their investment capacity; inequality of tax resources between territories, creating disparities in access to public services; the increase in costs linked to new powers transferred by the State, without always sufficient financial compensation. For example, some intermunicipalities are struggling to finance energy transition projects or sustainable mobility infrastructures, due to lack of sufficient resources. In this context, he asks what concrete measures the Government plans to strengthen the financial resources of intercommunalities, so that they can fully assume their missions, if the Government considers a review of State allocations to better support intermunicipalities in their investments and if it intends to guarantee better financial equity between the territories, so that all intermunicipalities, whatever their size or location, can offer quality public services to their residents.
