Parchim Region: Survey shows satisfaction and urgent suggestions for improvement!

A lot is happening in the Ludwigslust-Parchim area, as the latest Heimatcheck survey shows that people in the region feel comfortable. The positive response is not surprising - many appreciate the peace, the beautiful nature and the solid infrastructure that the region has to offer. Nevertheless, some suggestions for improvement were made that should not go unnoticed. Almost 1000 personal comments were collected, such as Northern Courier reported.

Among the external points of criticism are urgent requests from citizens, such as the construction of a swimming pool in Ludwigslust or the improvement of the on-call bus service, which often does not harmonize with the train timetables. The closure of a dental practice has also left some worried as there is no successor in sight. There are also demands for compensation for residents of wind turbines and the development of regional heating concepts.

Investments in infrastructure

In order to further raise living standards, the Ludwigslust-Parchim district has invested over 16 million euros in transport infrastructure for the 2025 financial year.

The district council has decided on a double budget for 2024/2025, thereby sending an important signal for future development.

The road and civil engineering department has already presented 14 different projects in the construction calendar for 2025. These include urgently needed construction measures such as the fundamental expansion of the K 59 in Dütschow in order to improve traffic safety. Another highlight is the expansion of the K 29 between Pätow and Steegen, which is expected to be carried out from May to November 2025 and is expected to cost around 1.5 million euros. The construction of a new cycle path along the K 30 between Hasenhäge and Sülte will also start in August and will cost around 700,000 euros.

Quality of life in rural areas

These infrastructure measures are not only important for the economy; they also improve the quality of life of citizens. A good road network promotes freight transport, shortens commute times and promotes sustainable mobility. According to a report by the German Institute for Urban Studies A good supply of infrastructural offerings in rural regions is crucial. This also includes inter-municipal cooperation, which not only relieves the burden on small communities but also enables strategic considerations for public services.

Demographic change poses challenges for many rural areas, including financial bottlenecks and inadequate local supplies. Projects to improve public services are therefore essential to ensure quality of life in the long term. It is encouraging to see that the Ludwigslust-Parchim region, with its millions of investments in infrastructure, is on the right track to meet the wishes and needs of its citizens.
