SPD Wenden provides candidates for local elections and discusses swimming pool construction

Schönau, Deutschland - On June 5, the local elections took place in Schönau, in which the SPD turned its candidates nominated. The chairwoman Jutta Hecken-Defeld drew a positive conclusion about the group work and emphasized the need for a well thought-out operator concept for the construction of the swimming pool. “We have to make sure that the planning […]

is addressed correctly from the start, ”says Hecken-Defeld. The SPD relies on a new building of the indoor pool, which has been a central topic in the municipal council since 2018.“ The original renovation of the bath built in 1967 was assessed as inadequate ”, reports Lokalplus.nrw.

important planning in the municipality

parliamentary group leader Ludger Reuber also spoke about important plans that are waiting for their implementation. Projects such as the Sälzer site and the fire station in Hillmicke are still in the starting blocks. The discussion about Gerlingen's bypass remains a central topic in the municipal council. "There is a need for action between claim and reality," said Reuber.

The candidates for the 17 constituencies and the reserve list were unanimously elected, which indicates a closed parliamentary group front. Siille Niklas for Wenden Nord-West and Christoph Hötte for Wenden Ost took over important positions. The names of the reserve candidates were also set in a transparent choice, with Ludger Reuber being at the top.

criticism of the CDU proposal for a citizens' decision

Another point of dispute in the community is the CDU's proposal to introduce a council decision to build the indoor pool. Ludger Reuber critically commented on this proposal and explained that the parliamentary group was clearly for the new swimming pool, since over 1.2 million euros had already been invested in planning and preparatory work. In a council decision from 2021, the decision for the new building at the comprehensive school was made, which specifies a clear direction. "The considerations for the general renovation of the dilapidated indoor pool are not considered seriously. They would also cause high costs and take up a lot of time," adds [SPD-wenden.de] (https://spd-wenden.de/keine- Malistory-fuer-ratsbuergerwahr-zum-schwimmbad- newbau/).

The topic of swimming pool has been running through the council meetings for years, and there are already several reports on the cost -effectiveness and building fabric. The SPD and the Greens have always required a new building. The citizens' decision was rejected by the faction because it is considered a step that could hinder the progress in the new swimming pool building.
