During the departmental session on November 13, councilors from the Yvelines addressed several crucial points for the region. A solemn tribute was paid to Mr. Pengo BOSSIO WANGI, a Departmental security agent, who died following the racist attack in Trappes and La Verrière on October 23. A minute of silence was observed in his memory, as well as for the seven other injured individuals.
The Department's President, Pierre BÉDIER, expressed the institution's solidarity with the victim's family, offering condolences and support. The assembly also approved the ecological transformation project for the Boucle de Chanteloup. This initiative aims to restore natural spaces over 200 hectares, funded by the sale of Compensation Units to developers. A Cooperative Interest Group (SCIC) was established to manage this site, with an initial investment of €13,500 from the Department.
Furthermore, the Department is investing €10.4 million in the renovation of the Le Corbusier school complex in Poissy, built in 1957. The works, scheduled until 2033, will improve the premises, facades, roofs, and technical equipment for the comfort of students and staff. The first interventions are planned for 2027.
An additional budget of €5.4 million will be allocated to public middle schools and international high schools in the Yvelines through complementary operating grants (DCF). These funds, based on €70 per student and supplemented by specific aid, are intended to cover the institutions' current expenses and projects.
Finally, starting from January 1, 2027, the five Departmental Action Territories (TAD) will be replaced by seven Departmental Solidarity Houses (MDS). This reorganization aims to better coordinate services and support for residents. The seven MDS will be distributed across the territory, maintaining existing reception points and strengthening collaboration with municipalities and local partners.
The Yvelines Department also continues its international commitment with the 'Novido' project (2026-2029, budget of €358,551), which strengthens partnerships with Benin and Togo in health, prevention, and education. This project aims to improve the daily lives of local populations through networks of health professionals, youth prevention actions, and hospital support.
