This morning, nearly 150 representatives of union councils exchanged views with elected officials Anthony Borré and Pierre Paul Leonelli. Security, cleanliness, community life… All the everyday topics were put on the table.
The room was full. Faced with the officials, the representatives of condominiums seized the opportunity to voice their concerns, often very concrete, related to daily life in their buildings and neighborhoods. The goal was to discuss all the issues affecting the Nice condominium properties.
At the beginning of the discussion, the two officials wanted to emphasize the importance of this consultation. “It seemed essential to us to have direct relationships with the representatives of the condominium unions,” stated Anthony Borré. Because today in Nice, there are over 8,000 condominiums registered. In order to respond to everyone’s needs, the city decided to create a dedicated email address: infocopro@ville-nice.fr to facilitate exchanges. The deputy in charge of security also emphasized the existence of the platform jeparticpe.nice.fr which has already gathered more than 3,000 proposals to improve the living environment in Nice. Another significant announcement of this morning, the budget allocated to the territory has been increased from 900,000 to 1.5 million euros.
Security, the number one concern
The floor was then given to the representatives. For 1 hour and 30 minutes, several participants were able to ask their questions. Chosen at random from the many raised hands, most refer to security.
Jean-Médecin district, Masséna, Saint-Roch, avenue de la Californie, boulevard Franck Pilatte… all request more cameras and more police patrols. The union councils talk about incivilities, sometimes aggressive homeless individuals, or those in an alcoholic coma in front of their buildings, and nuisances in children’s parks. Pierre-Paul Leonelli did not hesitate to remind an important point. “Nice is no longer the Nice of the 1980s,” recalling the efforts made in recent years. More than 4,500 cameras throughout the city, 303 SOS terminals, more than 50 municipal police officers to be recruited in 2025, 6,400 arrests, 4,000 fines… Figures that should reassure these union representatives.
Other subjects were addressed, and all were backed by answers that give hope to the residents. The officials thus emphasized their willingness to act and to best support the residents.
