Villeneuve Saint Georges : ville la plus bruyante d'Ile de France

April 14, 1998 Noise control should be a national priority, according to the Economic and Social Council, which issued an opinion on the subject today. It must be said that noise pollution poisons the lives of many city dwellers, particularly in the Paris region, such as Villeneuve Saint Georges, where planes, trains, and roads combine, and where this scourge is seen as inevitable. Residents deplore the lack of assistance. Report. A resident of Villeneuve Saint Georges opens her window and talks about daily life: the constant noise caused by planes, trains, and the National Highway 6. More than half of the residents live in a noise zone. The price per square meter does not exceed 5,000 francs, but the cost of mandatory soundproofing is borne by individuals. A tenant living in a wooden house laments that nothing is being done and points out that, in the summer, people don't live with their windows closed anyway. Another resident talks about the promise of a noise barrier, which was never fulfilled. Paris airport reimburses 80% of insulation work only for residents who moved in before 1971. Plans to relocate the airport and divert the national road are not on track to completion. The town hall is "thinking" about train-related noise pollution. Interview with Roger Gresil, mayor of Villeneuve Saint Georges, on possible solutions.
