Communauté de Communes du Sud Gironde

What Communauté de Communes du Sud Gironde does

Communauté de Communes du Sud Gironde is a French public intercommunal structure (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, EPCI) created to coordinate local public services across 37 communes in the Sud Gironde territory of the Gironde department. Headquartered at Langon and operating with a disclosed headcount of 33 employees, the CDC is governed by a Community Council led by President Jerome Guillem. Its mandate covers six service pillars: institutional and financial management; economic development and tourism; daily-life services (early childhood, youth, senior home support, waste, mobility); culture, sports and leisure; urban planning and housing; and environmental transition. End-users are the residents of the 37 member communes, alongside local businesses and visitors.

The CDC delivers services through a mix of directly operated facilities and delegated operators. Its owned product surface includes the CAP33 free sports program, the seasonal Piscine intercommunale de Villandraut, an intercommunal library network, a media library (La Quincaillerie), four Relais Petite Enfance (RPE) early-childhood centers, a Ludothèque éphémère, and music education. On the technology side, the CDC runs three digital platforms: the French state's Payfip portal for online payments, the GNAU digital guichet for urban-planning permits (operated by third-party Operis), and a HumHub-based internal intranet. Communication channels span the official website, an Intramuros mobile app, social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn), and the monthly Lou Sabitout print magazine.

Revenue is derived from local French taxes (taxe foncière, cotisation foncière des entreprises, taxe d'habitation on second homes), state and regional grants, and modest user fees for certain facilities (e.g., €2.50 per pool entry for adults). Most services — libraries, CAP33 sports, RPE guidance — are free to residents. Distribution is hybrid: direct service delivery through physical facilities, digital self-service via Payfip and GNAU, and a partner network (SICTOM, CIAS, Sud-Gironde Mobilités, OTELI, SPADIUM, SAFER) that executes delegated competencies on the CDC's behalf.
