Valley -

The local program was not on the agenda of the recent Valleyer local council meeting - but it sparked discussions in the committee.

Johannes Schneider (SPD) had raised the subject under the point "Unforeseen".

With the choice of this point in time and with his criticism of the

award system

, the parliamentary group spokesman did not

meet with approval

.

In the end, the committee was satisfied with the information provided by Mayor Bernhard Schäfer (FWG): "A draft is already on my desk, but we currently have too many

deadline items on the agenda

."

Award system part of the closed session

The local council at the time changed the community's allocation model for land in the 2013 local residents' program to a point system when building plots were available in the courtyard.

Be counted positive in the current version, among other longstanding

local residence

, residing in the same household

children

,

disa-

and

nursing degrees

and

low income

.

“Basically a good thing,” says Johannes Schneider, elected councilor this year.

But: "The program urgently needs to be revised." The reactions of other council members showed that the system is a hot topic.

Paul Heche Thaler (FWG)

displeased

the offense: "This is not an issue that we discuss in open session part," the chairman was.

Josef Klaus (CSU) added: “In principle, the program does not contain any errors, at most it is a little

out of date

.” And Schäfer said that everything does not work at once.

Absurdity of preferring low-income people with rising land prices?

When asked by our newspaper, Schneider stated that he had raised the issue publicly in order to create more transparency.

"I was already approached in public about the award system - people ask about the current status," said Schneider.

In addition to legal problems with the system, it is also a question of long-term thinking about

creating living space

.

"Although the program promotes

low-income people

, the

price of land

rises at the same time,

" says Schneider.

This discrepancy shows that, in addition to the program, there must also be a tool in order to be able to give the sponsored a financial support.

“Social housing could play a role here,” says Schneider.

However, he had to admit to the council and the mayor that the committee had actually initiated the topic at the beginning of the term of office in spring.

"But

nothing has happened

since then

,

" recalls the SPD parliamentary group leader.

Mayor has a rough version

When asked,

Schäfer said: "Many months ago we commissioned a

special law firm

to work out a rough version." This draft has been on his desk since September.

“Unfortunately there are a lot of things that we cannot put off,” says Schäfer.

The mayor therefore wants to set up a

working

group to deal with the point system next spring.

"The point is then to tailor the raw version to Valley." However, there is currently an existing point system that

reduces

the

deadline

pressure.

For Hechenthaler this is a good solution: “The

process is running

- the result is

pending

.” Until then, you have to deal with issues that are very

urgent

.
