It was at the Maison des Associations in Nice that Mayor Christian Estrosi officially launched the “Service Bleu.” After introducing the local inspectors, he explained this new service.
Imagine. For over a month, a street lamp near your home has not been working. Nobody fixes it, and it makes your street too dark.
From now on, that will only be a distant memory. With Service Bleu, a team will be at your disposal to come and fix it as soon as possible. The only tool you need? Your smartphone, with which you take a photo of the faulty street lamp and send it directly to the professionals through the “Service Bleu” app.
At least, that’s what Christian Estrosi promises. “The Service Bleu allows us to fix small anomalies like potholes or bent poles and to repair them as quickly as possible,” explains the mayor of Nice. “The goal is to improve the living environment of all neighborhoods,” he justifies.
Proximity Inspectors
Now, there are 9 local areas in Nice, instead of the 8 we knew. “There are also 9 neighborhood councils instead of 17. This will allow for better readability of the local organization. Today, we are making this policy in Nice much more coherent. It’s important for the citizens,” the mayor explains.
The 9 areas of the city will on average host three local inspectors. “They will identify the damage and anomalies in the neighborhoods and report any small issues to Service Bleu or call upon other services when the work is too significant,” comments Christian Estrosi.
To do this, the inspectors will roam the streets and meet with residents and shopkeepers in the different neighborhoods to understand their problems.
This initiative is part of Christian Estrosi’s 100 campaign commitments, who hopes, with these new services, to put an end to the small inconveniences in the neighborhoods.
