COMMUNAUTE DE COMMUNES DU TERNOIS

What COMMUNAUTE DE COMMUNES DU TERNOIS does

Communauté de Communes du Ternois (TernoisCom) is a French public intercommunality (Établissement Public de Coopération Intercommunale, or EPCI) established on January 1, 2017 through the merger of four prior EPCIs. Headquartered at Herlin-le-Sec in the Pas-de-Calais department (Hauts-de-France region), TernoisCom serves approximately 38,000 residents across 103 communes, governed by 133 elected community councilors under President Marc Bridoux and 12 vice-presidents with portfolio mandates spanning economic development, health, youth, culture, sanitation, environment, and digital/AI. The entity holds exclusive statutory authority over mandatory intercommunal competencies including spatial planning, economic development, waste management, and sanitation.

TernoisCom operates a broad multi-service portfolio organized into four poles: Administration/Collectivité, Services à la Population (waste, childcare, France Services, meal delivery, swimming pool, social action, justice, security), Culture & Numérique (cultural season, four Espaces Publics Numériques, FabLab/Tiers Lieu Numérique, music school with 535 students and 40 teachers, library network, ludothèque, TernoisLudik festival), and Territorial Planning (economic development, tourism, urban planning, environment, mobility, ecological transition). Physical infrastructure includes 5 déchèteries, 4 crèches, 4 EPNs, 1 swimming pool, 1 music school across 5 sites, 4 multi-professional health centers (Maisons de Santé), and 3 proximity agencies. Core technology is standard municipal digital infrastructure: the ternoiscom.fr website, online service platforms (AchetezTernois.fr e-commerce, VivezTernois.com youth portal, mediathèques.ternoiscom.fr), Google Analytics, Facebook integration, and PassPass Covoiturage carpooling.

The entity is funded by local taxation across its 103 member communes, intergovernmental transfers (CAF, ARS Hauts-de-France, Région Hauts-de-France, Agence de l'Eau Artois-Picardie, Pôle Emploi, SDIS), and transactional service fees (€7/meal delivery, €10/year ludothèque, €0.10–0.60 EPN unit pricing, €1,100 sanitation PFAC with subsidies up to 50%). Service delivery combines 3 proximity agencies, headquarters-based administrative functions, the delegated SPAC sanitation operation managed through Veolia, and a network of ~42 core staff supplemented by 200+ animateurs/directeurs in youth services and 40 music teachers. Strategic direction is shaped by a 2024–2026 cadence of sanitation zoning approvals, a territory-wide PLUi Habitat & Mobilité inquiry, and ongoing digital inclusion and ecological transition programs.
