Local events and urban management updates in Pamiers and Liège

In Pamiers, France, an autumn sale and flea market are scheduled for Sunday, October 4. The event features over 100 professional exhibitors and various animations, including concerts, bands, and a dedicated children's area with inflatable structures. Local businesses and restaurants are participating to revitalize the city center, and parking will be free for visitors throughout the day.

In Liège, Belgium, the setup for the October fair has caused local friction regarding urban infrastructure. Fairground workers have occupied parts of the Boulevard d'Avroy, encroaching on a cycle and pedestrian path previously used by buses. While local councilor François Schreuer criticized the city for allowing the infrastructure to be obstructed during a strategic period for cycling, the mayor stated that the relocation was necessary to clear the Avenue Blonden route. A compromise has been implemented to leave a three-meter passage for cyclists.
