Bones Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Forget Hillary and Obama, the election in my lil ol' village has been absolutely riveting.Punch ups, threatening letters, police investigation, lovely!The results are in tonight and ten of the eleven opposition candidates are in: the mayor of thirty years standing is out!! Second round next week, perhaps the mayor will squeeze back in - although it remains to be seen whether he'll have the cods to show his face after this debacle.One of the main issues was the proposed (for eons) golf and housing complex they want to build up around La Royale (montagne noire, north of Carcassonne). Not a cat in hell's chance of that going through now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pads Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hello Bones Where is La Royale ? is it the same one as the golf and housing complex near Villianiere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Sorry Pads, forgot to reply.Yes it's the same area.There's nothing to say that it won't happen, just that there seems to be a huge effort (on the owners' part) to have it designated in a certain way.The new mairie administration don't want it designated in this manner, essentially because it would leave them liable if the private enterprise were to collapse.What will happen?I dunno, it's all conjecture. But I wouldn't be purchasing any golf clubs any time soon. Not that I have any money. Or particularlly like golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
