Seine-Saint-Denis Council to Relocate from Bobigny to Saint-Denis
The move to the former Paris 2024 headquarters aims to save €10 million annually but faces criticism over transparency and potential impacts on workers and the local economy.
- Stéphane Troussel, president of the Seine-Saint-Denis council, announced the relocation of central services from Bobigny to the Pulse building in Saint-Denis, previously used by the Paris 2024 Olympic Committee.
- The move is projected to save €10 million annually, with funds planned for renovations to crèches and social services facilities.
- The relocation has drawn criticism from unions over concerns about reduced office space, potential job impacts, and the lack of consultation with staff.
- Local officials in Bobigny, including the mayor, have expressed concerns about the economic and territorial impact on the city, which has hosted the council for six decades.
- The new office will adopt a flex-office model, with 40% of employees expected to work remotely, but unions argue this could worsen working conditions for staff.
