They haven’t broken the habit. During the community council of the Golden ValleyMonday December 9, the elected officials of Monchy-Saint-Eloi abstained on all points presented on the agenda. The representatives of this village between Liancourtois and Creillois remain in their logic. They want to secede from the community of communes. And join in the process the Creil-Sud-Oise agglomeration.
On this subject, the mayor of Monchy Alain Boucher must have a first response on Thursday December 12. The file must be examined at the Oise prefecture, in Beauvais. More precisely within the framework of a meeting of the departmental intercommunal cooperation commission (CDCI).
The prefect of Oise will have the last word
“The CDCI must only give an opinion,” tempers Alain Boucher. “Afterwards, the final decision rests with the new prefect of Oise (Jean-Marie Caillaud editor’s note).” The elected official also recognizes that the recent change of state representative at the end of November does not simplify things.
“But the file was prepared in advance,” he reassures himself. He therefore remains confident of obtaining his departure from the Vallée Dorée as quickly as possible.
The moorings cast off in 2025?
“We were told that a transfer on January 1, 2026 could not be done,” continues Alain Boucher. It must be said that 2026 is a special year: it is the electoral deadline for the Municipalities. “We were offered either January 1, 2025, or January 1, 2027,” adds the first magistrate.
For the mayor of Monchy-Saint-Eloi, go for… 2025. Even if it’s in three weeks. “Yes, the deadline is very short. There is always a way to do it. If necessary, we can invoice the services of the community of municipalities.” The elected official adds: “It is better to integrate and participate in the elections and the bodies to which we belong rather than doing it during the mandate.”
The elected officials of the Vallée Dorée are opposed to it
But before seceding, you still have to come to an agreement with the other communities in the community of communes. And they have been slowing down for a year. Since the announcement by Alain Boucher himself of his intentions.
President Olivier Ferreira has already made his opposition known publicly. Mainly to “protect agents” from the consequences of such withdrawal. Two municipalities, Laigneville and Liancourt, voted in municipal council on a motion opposing this secession. Cauffry was to do the same during his council meeting on Tuesday, December 10.
