The Citizens’ Convention on Climate, which proposes measures aimed at combatting global warming, has called for a halt to the deployment of 5G (very high-speed Internet) so that its environmental impact can be studied. The government does not agree.

Opinions are divided: some believe that by providing faster Internet, 5G would boost the economy and increase connectivity and the use of autonomous things. For others, on the other hand, it represents outlay: more expensive plans, new phones and higher energy consumption for relative gains compared with 4G.

Debate continues as regards its health implications. 5G raises issues around health, data security and the environment.

To deploy it, 5G network providers need to recalibrate their current antennas or install new ones in towns. So what should we do in La Courneuve?

Although 50% of La Courneuve residents do not own cars, your elected representatives are constantly being contacted about them, for example about parking, speed limits and how they encroach on public spaces.

Some people believe more parking spaces are needed and a minority choose to ignore the rules and park in places intended for other uses, such as pavements, play areas and entranceways. Others complain of encroachment, arguing that non-compliance with the rules means that public spaces are intimidating and “unsafe”, and they want tighter restrictions to remedy this. So what should we do in La Courneuve?

Traffic regulations around schools are also being debated. Parents of students report that some cars go too fast; while others, and sometimes the same ones, get in the way by parking haphazardly in front of the school gates during drop-off times. Requests have been made for regulations to deal with this. So what should we do around our schools?

There is a speed limit of 30 km/h in towns across France in the interest of safety and to reduce noise and encourage soft mobility such as walking or cycling. Some residents find these measures too restrictive. Many roads in La Courneuve already have a speed limit of 30 km/h. Should we introduce a 30 km/h limit in more parts of our town? What should we do in La Courneuve?
