Communauté de communes Ponthieu-Marquenterre

What Communauté de communes Ponthieu-Marquenterre does

Communauté de communes Ponthieu-Marquenterre (CCPM) is a French public intercommunal cooperative structure (Établissement public de coopération intercommunale, or EPCI) headquartered in Rue, in the Somme department of the Hauts-de-France region. It coordinates and delivers a broad range of mandated public services on behalf of its 25 member municipalities, including waste collection and déchèteries, urban planning (PLUI), water management and flood prevention (GEMAPI), childcare (multi-accueils in Nouvion and Rue), before- and after-school care (périscolaire), home care for seniors (aide à domicile), meal delivery (portage de repas), telealarm services, and the MARPA senior residence. It also runs a France Services hub, the CIAS Ponthieu-Marquenterre social action center, an intercommunal music school, three cinemas (Le Cyrano, Le Vox, Le Pax), the Aquaclub de Belle Dune sports and leisure facility inaugurated in September 2023, and hosts partner permanences from ADIL 80, DGFIP, Région Hauts-de-France, the Défenseur des droits, and other public agencies.

The organization employs approximately 27 people and operates through a distributed network of physical service points supplemented by its WordPress-based website and a Facebook page. It has no proprietary technology platform; its digital infrastructure is hosted by the Syndicat Mixte Somme Numérique. CCPM is governed by elected officials from the member communes, with Claude Hertault serving as Président and Director of Publication.

CCPM is funded through three principal revenue streams: intercommunal taxation (taxe foncière, CFE, CVAE), central and regional government subsidies, and user fees on transactional services such as the Aquaclub (€5–€18 per visit), Ponthieu-Marquenterre du Rire comedy festival (€5 per seat), and Les Hivernales du Cinéma (€5.50 per seat, Thursdays free). Many core services (France Services, CIAS, certain home-care subsidies) are delivered free or at subsidized rates. Recent strategic activity centers on economic revitalization partnerships (Orange and WATTS conventions de revitalisation signed in 2024), joint infrastructure development with the Syndicat Mixte Baie de Somme Grand Littoral Picard, and recurring cultural programming with ACAP and Baie de Somme 3 Vallées.

Product overview

Communauté de communes Ponthieu-Marquenterre is a French intercommunal public administrative body that provides a comprehensive range of public services to its citizens. Rather than a unified software product, the organization offers multiple distinct service modules including administrative assistance (France Services, Tiers-Lieu, Médiation Numérique), social care services (Aide à Domicile, Portage de Repas, Téléalarme, MARPA), cultural and sports facilities (Aquaclub de Belle Dune, Écoles de Musique, Cinemas), environmental services (Déchèteries, waste collection), and family services (Petite Enfance, Enfance-Jeunesse, Services Périscolaires). The organization functions as a multi-service public administration rather than a technology company.
