Lack of staff in Seehausen: Citizens criticize overgrown green spaces!
In the Hanseatic city of Seehausen, green maintenance and the cleanliness of public areas face major challenges. Due to a severe lack of staff, numerous green spaces, such as the outdoor area of the former daycare center at Klosterschulplatz, are severely neglected and overgrown. Residents are increasingly expressing dissatisfaction with the inadequate maintenance of the green spaces, particularly on the corner of Patriotenstrasse and Steinstrasse, where thorny plants pose a risk of injury. Lawn care on Barsberger Weg is also criticized: the grass there is almost a meter high. Mayor Detlef Neumann has stated that there are currently no workers available through working groups, which further aggravates the situation. He emphasized that the city administration currently has to live with the current conditions and that not all maintenance work can be carried out.
Councilor Ralf Steinmetzer drew attention to the overgrown daycare center at Klosterschulplatz and expects that no measures will be taken to improve the situation there either. Citizens' concerns about inadequate maintenance of urban green spaces are therefore not unfounded and there is an urgent need for solutions.
Green areas and photovoltaic systems in focus
During the meeting, SPD city councilor Christina März raised her voice for the preservation of green spaces and new plantings in the town. Environmental Mayor Heiko Rosenthal pointed out that landfill sites are a suitable option for photovoltaic systems. In this context, the SPD parliamentary group emphasizes the need for compensatory measures to improve the quality of life in the north of Seehausen.
- Erster Antragspunkt zur Realisierung von Ausgleichsmaßnahmen erhielt 43:0 Stimmen bei zehn Enthaltungen.
- Zweiter Antragspunkt zur Begrünung von Lücken zwischen PV-Anlagen erhielt 40 Stimmen ohne Gegenstimmen bei neun Enthaltungen.
- Dritter Antragspunkt zur finanziellen Beteiligung der Ortschaft Seehausen an den Einnahmen der Photovoltaikanlage fiel jedoch mit 21:22 Stimmen bei elf Enthaltungen durch.
Although there is no agreement on financial participation, the majority of the city council agrees on preserving the green spaces in Seehausen. While CDU city councilor Claus Uwe Rothkegel supports the SPD demands, Green city councilor Jürgen Kasek criticizes the use of forest areas and instead calls for a “real solar offensive” on areas that have already been sealed.
Given the challenges facing green maintenance and the discussion surrounding the photovoltaic system, it remains to be seen what measures the city administration will take to address citizens' concerns and improve the quality of life in Seehausen. The pressure on those responsible to finally find solutions is growing.
