Traffic chaos in Wismar: construction sites and number of children in a descent!

Gallentin, Deutschland - commuters on the east tangent in Wismar today have to adapt to some traffic disruptions. Between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., studies on the load -bearing capacity of the road between the motorway feeder and Lütt Moor are carried out. A mobile test vehicle will stop on the road several times, which can lead to delays. These measures are necessary to ensure the safety of the street infrastructure, which is of great importance in the Hanseatic city.

While the traffic situation is analyzed, there is also gratifying news in housing construction. A new residential area on Klußer Damm is being built in Wismar. Despite the still prevailing lack of living space, the building sites and rental apartments have not yet all been awarded. On the one hand, this could be an opportunity for private houses, but on the other hand it also shows the continuing need for new living space in the region.

bankruptcy and decline in the number of children

An important shock came with the news about the bankruptcy of the furnishing chain Hammer. The application for bankruptcy on its own brings mixed reactions, because experts see a little hope of continued existence of the company between the lines, which is still present in twelve markets in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Business operations continue to run until further notice, which is important for the employees and the relevant catchment area.

Another, less gratifying message is the decline in the number of children in Northwest Mecklenburg. In the past 15 years, the number of children has fallen by almost 25 percent, which puts not only the family structures, but also the daycare centers under pressure. Almost two thirds of the child minders had to stop working, and the future of the daycare center in Damshagen is now also unsure. This not only ensures great concerns about the families concerned, but also represents a challenge for the municipal structure.

culture and protest: Festival against right -wing extremism

Where is the journey in this split society going? In this context, the Juroto Festival will take place in Gallentin on July 11th and 12th. A dozen bands will play, and the event should set a clear sign of an open and solidary community. The festival site on Lake Schwerin, including bathing beach and tent options, offers the perfect frame and the admission prices remain moderate thanks to numerous sponsors.

The festival has its roots in resistance to the ongoing neo -Nazi currents that prevail in the region around Jamel. Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer have been fighting against the neo-Nazi commitment to their community for over 20 years and were even awarded the country's Order of Merit. However, it has recently been discussed whether fees should be charged for the use of municipal areas for the festival, which the Lohmeyers consider to be disregarded by their commitment.

social challenges

While such cultural initiatives are important, the situation of homeless people in our society is also alarming. According to the BAG homeless help, there is considerable pressure on this group, which is often affected by physical and structural violence. The reasons for this unfortunate situation are a combination of rising rents, a lack of affordable living space and social policy wrong decisions. The BAG calls for better treatment and more compassion towards the homeless, who often do not receive the necessary support to get out of their precarious situation.

It is up to us to take the right steps during this time. For residents and the numerous actors within society, it is crucial to set a sign against right -wing extremists, as well as for a respectful approach to everyone, regardless of their social background. With the festival and the commitment of many citizens, the coming month offers the opportunity to initiate a positive change.
