Question 17849 — municipalities

Summary

Mr. Fabrice Le Vigoureux questions the Minister of Territorial Cohesion and Relations with Local Authorities on the threshold effects that impact new municipalities. When a new municipality is created, all the rights and obligations of the historic municipalities are taken over by the new municipality. But this creation can also generate particularly restrictive additional obligations with regard to the state. Within its constituency, several municipalities of less than 2,500 inhabitants have grouped together to form a new municipality of 6,000 inhabitants. This exceeding of the threshold of 5,000 inhabitants generates in particular the obligation to create a reception area for travelers, an obligation to have at least 20% social housing (SRU law) and additional administrative means contrary to the aim of rationalizing means desired by the law relating to the new territorial organization of the Republic of August 7, 2015, known as the NOTRe law. In this context, he asks what measures can be considered in order to attenuate these threshold effects, allow better rationalization of costs and means and prevent a voluntary project of grouping of municipalities from being slowed down, deferred or reconsidered in the light of new disproportionate obligations with regard to the state.
