The Free Voting Community of Neuching (FWG) currently has four seats in the local council. The group also wants to at least achieve this quota in the local elections. "Neuching has a future - we make it our job to shape it," is the credo of the FWG, which presented its candidates and their election program on Sunday in the Old Wirt.
Oberneuching - "We can act independently in terms of local politics," said municipal councilor Markus Lanzl about the party-free grouping that had been in existence for 50 years and which, from 1988 to 2002, provided the city hall chief with the recently deceased Hans Brunhierl. The list of candidates is led by the third mayor Manfred Mittermaier, who has been on the committee since 1990. "You have to have municipal politics as a hobby when you have been in the municipal council for 30 years," said the 53-year-old with a smile.
All parties and groups have the topic “affordable housing” on their agenda. The FWG also prefers this in the context of a new building land allocation model. The FWG also includes housing for the socially disadvantaged, the expansion of data transfer and the maintenance and expansion of traffic, bike and footpaths in the area of housing and infrastructure.
The FWG is committed to moderate growth. “A massive influx changes the community. We do not want urbanization and anonymity, we want an active and sensible village life, ”Mittermaier told the guests. The rural character should be preserved. This is to be achieved with a moderate designation of residential and commercial areas, the control of urban development or the site-compatible redensification and use of the old stock. This was also emphasized by Josef Bartl, who has been a replacement for Martin Wittmann in the local council since December. "It may sound strange because I'm a bricklayer," said Bartl, who is running again (fifth on the list).
No group can avoid the implementation of the multi-purpose hall. "We are all free voters for the multi-purpose hall," said Lanzl. The sporting offer is to be expanded with the implementation of the municipality's largest project. Corinna Aulehner (number six on the list) wants even more activities, especially for girls. There are also plenty of places for children, crèches and after-school care, as well as support for work for the elderly on the FWG agenda.
One topic that was also well received by the guests was the area of renewable energies. "What exactly does renewable energy mean for you? Wind turbines? “Asked a listener. "Wind turbines are a double-edged sword," said Mittermaier regarding the clearance areas. The FWG focuses on the promotion and implementation of energy-saving measures and energy-optimized planning for other projects. With the district heating connection in the new building area one failed. Why? "There was no agreement with the supplier," said Lanzl. But everyone could also do something for the environment, such as installing a photovoltaic system - as far as possible - or relying on regenerative heating options when installing a new heating system.
"Our goal is to work constructively with all local councils in order to find optimal solutions for our home community," emphasizes the FWG.
