Members of the city council buy oneselves a poll

The members of the majority of the city council of Angers have ordered a poll about the opinion of the inhabitants regarding their action. According to one of them, that poll was paid to Tns Sofres with their own money.

Some questions are quite general ("Are the taxes well used in Angers?" or "Do you think the city is more or less dynamic than before?"). Some are more specific ("What do you think about the commercial center Fleur d'eau in the inner city?", or"How is the urban renewal of Belle-Beille or La Roseraie?"). But others are more personal : "How would you qualifiy Jean-Claude Antonini (the mayor)?" and even more political "Do you think Mr or Mrs so and so would be a good mayor?".

Such surveys would be realized at the first two years of each office since 1983. "We want to measure the feeling of the people about the policy we are implenting", says a deputy mayor. The issue of the succession of the present mayor is also mentioned even if Jean-Claude Antonini points out that this is not at stake today. "It's important to see the perspective drawn up".
