The Greens no longer want gravel gardens at Althegnenberg.
They requested a ban in an application to the local council.
This met with some resistance from the council members.
Althegnenberg - Mayor Rainer Spicker (BI) said: "A statute would make sense, but how should you implement it?" The district office will not control it.
Thus, the only way to file a lawsuit would then be for the community.
And it is doubtful whether you will be successful with it.
Especially since there are already some gravel gardens.
These would then have grandfathering.
Andreas Birzele (Greens) explained the negative impact of such gardens on the microclimate.
Water cannot seep away quickly enough.
And for the most part, gravel gardens are not planted with native plants.
Birzele proposed to prepare a statute with the administrative association (VG) Mammendorf.
"We should set an example", added Markus Drexl (Greens).
Klaus Westner (BI) called it a "good thing", but preferred to rely on voluntariness: "We already have so many statutes and we cannot control it."
Marianne Dunkel (SPD) saw it differently and spoke out in favor of a set of rules.
Janine Beier-Seifert (independent) also found: “It is too late to volunteer.” Ludwig Schmid (CSU), who had started looking in the community, reported: “I now only have gravel gardens with us on the edges of houses and not as a large area. ”He doubts that the ban on gravel gardens will be more successful than when it came to planting thuja.
The committee voted with a narrow majority for a statute, as in the city of Fürstenfeldbruck recently.
Birzele was commissioned to create a template.
