Mayor election Lucka: Squal election between two favorites on June 29!

in Lucka, where the political landscape is currently with a lively exchange, there were recent mayor elections. Six candidates faced the election, but the decision was less clear than hoped for. On June 29, there will now be a runoff election between the two best candidates. Kathrin Backmann-Eichhorn, who has held the office of mayor for 18 years, will retire in September. She was the last woman in this position in Altenburger Land and leaves a formative footprint in city history. In addition to a change at the top, the focus is also on the challenges for local citizen participation.

The announcement of the election has also aroused the interest of the citizens in the city and its districts, such as Breitenhain and Prößdorf. Mayor Backmann-Eichhorn invited everyone to explore Lucka. The city is aiming to continuously expand its range of information in order to offer the citizens valuable insights. Interesting facts, historical, current, as well as the activities of the local associations and organizations can be called up via the Internet presentation. In addition, the citizens are called up to bring suggestions and suggestions for improvement in order to further optimize the citizen service and thus strengthen local democracy. This is particularly important to promote lively citizen participation and that the voices of all citizens are heard.

preservation of the Altenburg cemetery

Another positive step in the region is the foundation of the "Treukunstungsfungsungsfoundung Historischer Friedhof Altenburg" by Gabriela and Henrik Pradel. The cemetery is on the list of places in need of protection and is now protected and preserved by the foundation. The initiators have already taken the first steps to renew the colored glass windows of the cemetery chapel, which is planned for 2024. This preserves a piece of cultural history that is of great importance for many people in the area.

dispute over Lidl in Meuselwitz

At the same time, a area of ​​tension between Lidl and the city of Meuselwitz causes excitement. The city tries to prevent the discounter from the city center, which is vehemently rejected by Lidl. An international law firm was switched on to end the construction management procedure. This tense situation shows how important clear communication between the various actors in urban development is.

In a further context, the VHW - Federal Association for Housing and Urban Development illuminates the challenges of citizen participation. In a recent study, important factors such as inclination, communication and transparency were emphasized. People of various backgrounds have to be taken into account in order to enable real participation in our cities. Young people, migrants and people with low incomes in particular should be increasingly integrated into decision -making processes in order to create a diverse mood. The study shows how essential it is to define clear structures and objectives for citizen participation in order to avoid disappointments.

In these eventful times, it is more important than ever that the citizens in Lucka and beyond are actively involved in shaping the future of their city. With an open -minded citizen service and a strong focus on maintaining and development, Lucka shows that there is something here - in the best sense for the community.
