Crushed motorhome incident in Elbeuf blocks canopy project

In October 2025, during storm Amy, a wall collapsed onto a motorhome parked at the Elbeuf media library (Seine-Maritime). The wreckage was removed in early July 2026, but the installation of shade canopies and additional parking on the newly renovated square remains stalled due to a legal dispute over insurance liability. Mayor Djoudé Merabet stated that no timeline for resuming work can be set, and once approved, completion will take about two months.
