A few days ago our maire wrote to tell us that henceforth our water bills should be paid to the tresor public in St Antonin instead of the local mairie. The St Antonin branch of the tresor has always been useful for paying taxes or querying those bills we receive from time to time and probably especially useful in the bigger transactions such as house deposits. But now the branch is scheduled to be closed. Presumably those people used to going there will now be forced to go to some other larger town such as Caussade.
Obviously the increasing use of electronic payments will have diminished the demands on smaller branches, but as the maires pointed out at their demonstration on Monday, it is the rural nature of the community of communes (QRGA) which demands a local presence.
Currently the ministry of finance is determined to close the branch, but the support of local MP and senator has been solicited.
