Mayors request the burial of France Telecom cables in Omaha

At a cantonal meeting held on a Friday, Jean-Marie Oxéant denounced the maintenance of France Telecom's poles and cables between Vierville-sur-Mer and Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, in the listed Omaha site. The mayor of Vierville regretted the lack of a precise response to his requests for burial and the refusal finally made by the regional management after many letters and calls.

Catherine Chartier, mayor of Saint-Laurent, shared this concern. Jean-Pierre Richard, general councilor and mayor of Trévières, also reported complaints from residents forced to dismantle part of their boats or catamarans to pass them under the wires before returning home.

Jean-Marie Oxéant believed that these aerial installations contradicted the efforts of the communities to preserve the views of the coast. He brought this refusal closer to the burial program presented by ERDF and asked why France Telecom did not follow the same approach.

The company representative replied that she had processed the letters sent to her, but could not immediately provide an answer to this particular question. The elected officials specified that their criticisms were aimed at the management of France Telecom and did not constitute a personal attack. The article is signed Murielle Bouchard.
