Northern Saxony is discussing the sale of empty schools and planning a new industrial park, while citizen protests are influencing the plans.

Delitzsch is facing change: Old schools in the sales focus!
In Delitzsch, the old school buildings of the Pestalozzi School and Fröbel School have been empty for over a year. Those responsible in the district are currently examining options for a sale and possible subsequent use of these vacant properties. Meanwhile, the city of Delitzsch has a say in subsequent use, which gives citizens additional rights of co-determination that can be incorporated into planning and implementation. The future of these buildings will therefore be decisively shaped by the ideas and wishes of the local population.
Meanwhile, in neighboring communities such as Leipzig and Taucha, work is underway to adapt plans for a new commercial and industrial area. However, this originally caused unrest, especially in the Merkwitz district of Taucha. There were massive protests here, which even led to a citizens' initiative. The city council will decide next Thursday on the interpretation of the new draft in order to take the concerns of citizens into account. In order to provide more information and loudly discuss residents' concerns, an information event in Merkwitz is planned for November 18th. These developments are part of a broader urban development strategy, which is also supported by BMZ projects, where sustainable urban development is a priority.
Colorful hustle and bustle in the carnival season
The carnival clubs in Torgau captured the town hall keys in a lively ceremony on Tuesday to properly ring in the carnival season. This tradition is very important in the region and brings people together to celebrate together and welcome the year in a carefree way. As the holidays approach, spirits and a sense of community in the city are rising.
The situation is completely different in Mockrehna, where problems arose with the Vivet housing management company. The administration currently controls 170 residential units and the alarm bells are ringing in the local council as potential financial difficulties for Vivet could put a strain on the situation. This could potentially have an impact on the residents and the living situation on site.
News from police work
There is also news in the area of public security: A change at the top of two police stations in and around Leipzig represents a drastic change process. In Leipzig-Nord, a new head has taken over responsibility, while a new officer has taken office in Grimma. Such personnel changes in leadership positions usually take place in the fall, and the decisive changes bring a breath of fresh air into police work.
Developments in the region are complex and give rise to both joy and concern. It remains to be seen how the last few weeks of the year will develop and what decisions those responsible will make to take the concerns of citizens into account in both urban development and social welfare.
