Dispute over market thunderstorms: Eisfelder retailers are calling for more say!

on the market road in Eisfeld, it is bubbling. The retailers feel abandoned by the city and report on worrying lack of communication. The trust between the dealers and the city council is badly damaged, which causes unrest in the current situation. insuedthueringen.de reports that the traders who were integrated in the organization of the traditional markets are increasingly eliminated and their Expressure of dissatisfaction now loudly.

To show their displeasure, they have invited three city councilors to themselves: Mike Lorenz from the left, Jan Möller from the CDU and Rolf Schildknecht from the SPD. This regulars' table should be heard to the concerns of the dealer, which will then be discussed at the city council meeting on Thursday. Here it will be shown whether the city is ready to deal with the wishes and needs of the retailers.

urban development and retail

A sustainable dialogue between the city and the single dealers is more than necessary. The new challenge for the inner cities, also in Eisfeld, lies in the changed consumption habits. As a result, inpatient retailers are increasingly suffering from the pressure of online trading. wet trade.de shows that this development also leads to an increase in vacancies, which further undermines the attractiveness of the inner cities.

The city of Eisfeld has tried a modern design on the market road. The traffic release of this important connection axis between the church and market square was celebrated in 2020. At that time, Mayor Sven Gregor emphasized the importance of accessibility and the renewal of the sidewalks. The project included investments of around 645,300 euros, of which a large part of which was financed from funding. Rundschau.info documents the extensive construction work that could be carried out without restrictions for the customers of the adjacent bank.

outlook on the markets

The focus of the city and the dealer is to revive the traditional markets- spring, autumn and Christmas market. This is important to strengthen regional identity and promote the community. But without the participation and trust of the retailers, this will hardly be possible. The city councils must be aware of the challenges and work out solutions together with the dealers in order to keep the city center of Eisfeld attractive and to grow future developments.

It remains to be seen how the conversations between the retailers and the city will be. However, one thing is certain: a good knack for communication is now crucial so that Eisfeld can create the turn in inpatient trade.
