15th November, 2010 SUMMARY TRANSLATION OF ARTICLES PUBLISHED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER SEPTEMBER ISSUE FOR THE USE OF THE INHABITANTS OF WRINGTON…   Jean-Pierre GRAND, MP, Herault recently commented: "A French MP, an Elected Official does not fall into line, follows his conscience and defends the public interest. "Although superficially attractive, the exercise is not as simple as it seems. Because social groups are not homogeneous and their objectives are not identical, elected officials must of course adapt to a constant environment opf changes in social policy, and in society itself. It is nevertheless true that the primary function of an elected representative is to defend the interests of their constituents. Concerned by the problems of crime and incivility that trouble our community, we wanted to prioritise this municipal issue by our efforts on Public Safety and Peace - "first of Liberties. (Definitions of Gérard Collomb, Senator-Mayor of Lyon.) The sum of experience, the daily presence on the ground, and the energy shown by local officials must help to build a policy respectful of each component security of our society. Work upstream with the various actors CISPD (Council Intercommunal Security and Delinquency Prevention), build up in our local Police service a close, reassuring and effective relationship of "neighbors-vigilant," strengthen and modernize the use of video in protection, all assets that assist in underpinning real prevention - security - justice. But let's not forget that public accountability in Security remains in the jurisdiction of the State. Our challenge today, as policymakers is premised on being able to to create a new climate of agreement in which we all can find ourselves in tune with Republican values: Freedom, Equality, Fraternity Villeneuve to live differently. Jean-Paul Galonnier ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ROLE OF THE CITY COUNCIL…   The City Council is responsible for managing meetings for discussion of the affairs of the municipality. The elected Council City meets approximately twice a term to deliberate on ....... SECURITY… Because a city where life is good is a city that is committed to ensure the safety of its citizens, Villeneuve les Beziers chose to implement an active policy of prevention in the fight against delinquency. The City Police of Villeneuve les Beziers is composed of six municipal officers, four security officers, and a secretary, headed by a chief of municipal police. Its role is to ensure good order, security and public safety on the territory of Villeneuve. The primary concern of the City Council is the well-being of citizens. Before any outbreak of antisocial behaviour, a feeling of security for Villeneuvois seeking protection has been increased by elected officials. This protection is achieved initially by a reinforcement of the Municipal Police and, secondly, by the establishment of a video protection system. 11 sites were chosen to have this system: schools. stages. the bowling rink. The Sérignan entrance to the sports ground,. Place Gabriel Peri with the Post office and the health center. the Square Dardé with parking, playground for children, the retirement home. the parking lot of old schools,. City Hall, Revolution Place and Michel Solans Place. the canal bridge,. the old cemetery roundabout , the new cemetery. All these sites will be equipped with cameras that also will view the adjacent roads. The work will finish before December. YOUTH…   A new facility called the City Stadium as been completed. Whether with family or friends, during holidays, weekends, during or after school, young people can practice sport activities at the new multi sports stadium in the city: football, basketball through badminton, volleyball, handball, tennis and recreational games for children, the choice is wide.

It is logical to place it near the place where fishermen engage in their sport. SCHOOL PLAYGROUND… It was previously equipped with outdoor games, which were old and presented a danger to children.The Company initially chosen has filed for bankruptcy, so the town was forced to make a new contract with another Company.
