The town hall of the town of Trith-Saint-Léger, in the North, offers two checks of 50 euros each to all households. They must make it possible to cope with the rise in the prices of electricity, gas and even fuels.
In the North, the municipality of Trith-Saint-Léger has decided to help its inhabitants in the face of inflation.
The PC mayor of this town in the Valenciennes region, whose poverty rate is 18%, has decided to provide all households with two energy inflation checks of 50 euros each, without income conditions, says France Blue. Something to help pay energy bills, but also fuel or food shopping.
Bruno, recently fired, welcomes the news and will use these checks to pay for gas. “It’s complicated, though, given the situation at the moment.“, summarizes this butcher. For her part, Laurence will use this sum to pay her electricity bills, the amount of which has exploded since she has to use a dialysis machine six days a week. “It’s going to be a boost, that’s for sure“, she testifies to France Bleu.
All residents are entitled
The communist councilor therefore opted for aid available to everyone, regardless of the income of the inhabitants. “We all suffer from inflation, whatever our income, the bills increase for everyone“, argues Dominique Savary. He also wanted to extend these checks to fuels, “if only to travel to his place of work“. An operation that will cost the town hall 240,000 euros.”I have lots of people who call me and who are super happy, they can pay for gas, oil, pellets. […] It really came at the right time. For us, it’s just a bonus“, welcomes Rachelle Mixte, co-manager of an Albot establishment.
