An open Group meeting was held today, to which all interested citizens were invited. The aim of the meeting was to provide transparent information on current topics from the municipal bodies, to prepare for the upcoming municipal council meeting and to take suggestions from the citizens.
News from the committees
We looked at the last Council meeting in mid-June back. On some open issues, including drainage (parallel to Dr. Domarus-Straße) – there is currently no new state of play. We ask the administration and hope for an answer in the Construction Committee on 12 November or in Municipal Council on 19 November – no agenda has yet been published for both meetings.
In the open group meeting, the committees' topics were also raised: The Culture Committee deals with important dates, including fair planning, citizens' breakfast and Youth Day. We continue to collect suggestions from the citizenry to improve processes at events. For example, there are suggestions for improvement for the senior afternoon, such as organization and the selection of drinks.
Other points from our public meeting:
- We suggest a suitable location for the book phone booth. The idea of designing the telephone booth by young people (We reported) is to be implemented.
- The use of communal spaces and locking systems has been criticised. We're going after it.
- The opening of the library took place, which we found very successful. We commend the library team very much.
Preparing for the next council meeting
We have already collected and prepared topics for the upcoming Council meeting, including:
- Industrial area: Potential analysis and file inspection in existing reports. The Central and Financial Committee has granted a new opinion as an investment in the budget.
- Information from citizens on the critical traffic situation – here the intersection of cycle paths: In the context of road safety, we call on the administration to arrange for the road construction load carrier (probably state-owned mobility company here) to examine measures.
General information from the place
In conclusion, current developments in the municipality were summarized:
- The primary school in Dernbach will be expanded to ensure a full-day offer.
- A new siren was installed at the end of the road ‘Im Wehrholz’.
- The no-hold zones around the Raiffeisen-Gymnasium are still not sufficiently complied with. We ask the administration if and what measures are foreseen.
- The joints of the village well were repaired with synthetic resin.
- Several sacked places in the local area – including Kirchvor- and Rathausplatz – have to be repaired.
- The expansion of the fiberglass work continues to be unreliable, a decrease in the work is still pending, as a representative reported.
Finally, citizens were invited to contribute their ideas for village development. The exchange clearly demonstrated the importance to many of strengthening community life, better coordination of events and open dialogue within the community.
Together for Dernbach plans to maintain public group meetings at intervals of about three months. We hope to be able to continue to use the Council Hall for this purpose, for which we have worked very hard. We will announce the dates for 2026 here as soon as possible.
