Local officials in the Lot department are seeking long-term guarantees to maintain physical access to public fiscal services. This demand follows the planned closure of the Saint-Céré Accounting Management Service by 2029, an administrative reorganization that impacts missions in both Saint-Céré and Gourdon.

Saint-Céré Mayor Louis Bontemps and Lot Deputy Aurélien Pradié are advocating for the preservation of physical reception points. They argue that in rural areas where mobility is a significant challenge, digital solutions are insufficient as a sole response. The officials have requested a formal long-term convention with the departmental directorate to ensure equitable access to public finances.
