Water prices have risen massively in Icking.

Businesses and farmers are up in arms.

The Ickinger CSU criticizes the omissions of the community.

Icking – The members of the CSU local association recently took the side of the Ickinger farmers at their annual meeting.

The chairman dr.

Christoph Preuss criticized the town hall administration for doing "everything at once" when it comes to renovating the drinking water network, which is accompanied by an enormous increase in fees, which hit the farmers particularly hard.

As reported, the fees in Icking have climbed from 1.43 to 3.88 euros.

Preuss described the fact that the production fee for the first connection had virtually not been increased since the 1960s as a major omission that the citizens now had to pay for.

Preuss spoke out against further open-space photovoltaic systems on agricultural land.

He agrees with his parliamentary colleague Hans-Peter Stahn that the planned 3.5 hectare second PV system after the one in the Walchstadt depression should not be built because it consumes valuable arable land - irresponsible in times when this is not the case grain becoming scarce.

"Solar systems should be on the houses or on already sealed areas," said Preuss.

The doctor at the Wolfratshauser district clinic gives a positive assessment of the fact that the Ickinger municipal council has given a clear statement in favor of keeping the hospital under municipal ownership.

During the corona pandemic, a large number of patients were cared for there and also ventilated.

The deficit expected by the district was recently clearly undercut,

Nursing staff are missing: CSU calls for affordable housing

The deputy CSU district chairwoman Sabine Lorenz continued the topic.

In order to remedy the shortage of nursing staff, affordable housing would be needed for them, said Lorenz.

Thomas Schwarzenberger, mayor of Krün (Garmisch-Partenkirchen district) and acting district councillor, reported on the work in the Upper Bavaria district.

He is currently investing a lot of money in expanding the Glentleiten open-air museum.

The area of ​​Upper Bavaria North is being shown there, which has so far been neglected.

There are also plans to make the museum less accessible.

Schwarzenberger said on the occasion that he was again available as a candidate for the district council.

G7 summit at Schloss Elmau - Mayor of Krün explains the preparations

However, the ten or so participants were much more interested in how Krün is currently preparing for the G7 summit at Schloss Elmau from June 26th to 28th.

Schwarzenberger said it was an honor that the community had been chosen to host for the second time since 2015, although she did not apply ("The plan was different").

The 2015 meeting had a positive impact on tourism.

Many would have seen the pictures of the beautiful landscape on TV and then booked a holiday in Krün.

On the other hand, the meeting of the seven most important heads of state and government represents an "enormous challenge" for his small community.

At the G7 summit: 18,000 police officers are on duty

18,000 police officers alone are working in shifts, and there are also rescue organizations from all areas.

Roads would be closed, there would be no trains and there would be controls everywhere.

If the high guests cannot be brought by helicopter due to bad weather, extensive road closures are to be expected.

Schwarzenberger is hoping for not too many demonstrators.

So far it looks like it.

Last time, large organizations such as the Bund Naturschutz and the World Health Organization judged after the summit: "Elmau has delivered".
