Dießen – A fee of two euros is not the world for a proper parking space.
At the alternative car park on Rotter Straße, which was opened especially for the Christmas market, many visitors had to trudge through muddy meadows and paths in the direction of the exit and mess up their shoes.
Numerous complaints were received by the municipality and also by the KREISBOTEN.
At the request of the organizing local history association, the market community had opened the otherwise closed car park for the time of the Christmas market.
Julia Rieß, the organizer of the event, was at the regulatory office in this regard and had applied for "the same procedure" as at the last market before the pandemic in 2019.
At that time, a fee of two euros was also required for parking lot supervision.
Your oral request for this year was allegedly approved by the regulatory office.
"Unfortunately, I didn't get that in writing," Julia Rieß regrets now that there are differences of opinion about it.
Mayor Sandra Perzul said at the request of KREISBOTEN: "We have approved the application for the parking areas for the Christmas market.
However, there was no talk of cashing in when the application was submitted to our regulatory office. ”You now have to clarify how the home club came up with the idea of cashing in the parking spaces that it had received for free from the municipality.
It is particularly piquant that the Heimatverein was one of the initiators of the referendum against the expansion of the parking lot on Rotter Straße, which is said to be a valuable "blooming meadow".
During the talks at the market’s bratwurst stand about the filthy shoes, glee could be heard from those who had voted against the expansion: “You’ll just have to wear rubber boots to the Christmas market in the future.” Allegedly, some visitors even slipped when getting out of the car and in like the mud.
