Furious, Jean-Luc Meurice went there but no constructive dialogue has not succeeded. Consequently, even if the means of action are very limited, the city of Jodoigne has decided to carry out legal action. “We took a lawyer and we wear the case in court, asking for one penalty by day but … They know how it goes and that it takes time, and therefore do not feel in a hurry to move. I am scandalized by their attitude. We have another group with whom we exchanged and found a solution on another site. Here, they have nothing to do, a young internship was organized on the site, deigned to understand anything, they settled.
“What is disturbing here is to disembark without warning”
But that’s not all: “The terrain has just been resettled, we hope there will be no damagecontinues the bourgmestre. It’s a real concern. We have already welcomed traveling people several times this year. What is disturbing here is to land without warning. They would come from opprebais. I contacted farmers from the region, to find a fallback solution, but I don’t have much feedback. The worst part is that they could have gone to the other land not used on the rugby site, but no. There, it is disrespectful, a sports club is there, practical, young people are deprived of their activity! “
Jean-Luc Meurice assures that he will make sure to make things happen. “I hope that the ones will make them go back, but justice must decide quickly. We hope that it will go quickly, we will relaunch Monday. By then, we continue to look for land elsewhere, as long as they accept. As for the rugby club, in the meantime, they can train on the old Jauche football field. But it is not normal.”
Some require arrangements to prevent them from returning. “It’s complicated. Some put blocks, but here it is a public place with a room, we must maintain access to firefighters and ambulances. We must think about how to prevent them from access to the field.” And Jean-Luc Maurice to conclude: “We will have to find solutions for the communes, I once again relaunched the province. But if we find areas, these travel people will accept our proposals? In any case, here, it is not correct.”
