The gravel quarrying in Irschenberg also caused criticism at the town hall.
Understandable.
Alternatives were not examined sufficiently, communication came too late.
A comment from Merkur employee Jonas Napiletzki.
The gravel pit is coming, that much seems certain.
The mayor's attempt to save the tipped mood with belated transparency failed on Tuesday.
Instead, the conflict of goals between citizens and operators has spread to the town hall.
Even if the Hafner company will probably not find any friends in the community, they still want to accommodate the local residents.
She had arguments and was prepared in terms of content.
You couldn't say the same about the mayor.
Are there other gravel deposits that could have been identified as alternatives?
Nobody at City Hall knows.
Why?
Because the topic has been known since 2019, but was not deepened - until it was too late.
Nobody should be surprised about doubts about the competence.
The same applies to the anger about the lack of communication.
Filling in the ditches that have been torn up could take longer than backfilling the gravel pit.
