“The recent decisions taken by the municipal team led by Pascale Loiseleur are strictly speaking aberrant, ineffective and contrary to the interests of the inhabitants of Senlis“, estimated Jean-Christophe Canter, former mayor of the royal city and who aspires to become one again.
“A big mistake”, according to him
For the future candidate for mayor, in 2026, “setting up paid parking in the station area, increasing the price of parking so disproportionately and above all entrusting the fines of offenders to a private company is a gross error on the part of the from Pascale Loiseleur. He believes that “this will trigger an infernal circle, where the chosen service provider will, in a commercial logic of profitability, be unleashed against car owners, and to make the figure will verbalize with all their might, without taking into account the realities of the city”.
“The solution is not to penalize Senlis motorists”
Jean-Christophe Canter believes that Senlis “does not need this paid parking policy inspired by the “Parisian bobos” dear to Madame Hidalgo. The solution is not to penalize Senlis motorists by hitting them in the wallet but, on the contrary, to create the conditions for satisfactory and equitable parking which allows better access to the city center and shops.”
And the former mayor concluded: “Yes to the creation of additional parking spaces near the city center. No to the exaggerated increase in parking prices. Senlis is not Paris. But, obviously, Madame Loiseleur thinks she is Madame Hidalgo.”
