Separate Budgets Proposed for Each School by CDU

Bergisch Gladbach, Germany - The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has unveiled its comprehensive manifesto for the city, focusing on climate protection, traffic solutions, education, volunteer work, digital communication, and more.

In terms of climate protection, the CDU's plan includes promoting technology-open energy and heat concepts, implementing the "Spongy City" principle, advocating for more green roofs and facades, and supporting the use of green fuels such as HVO or eFuels in the city area.

The CDU's traffic solution approach is centred around the free choice of means of transport, improved and expanded infrastructure, optimized construction site management, reliable and attractive public transport, safe and practical cycling, improved traffic flow, mobility stations, electromobility promotion, transparency, citizen participation, and a future-oriented traffic concept.

Education is another key area of focus for the CDU. They plan to expand kindergarten construction projects immediately to close care gaps. Each elementary school will receive a budget of 100,000 €, and each secondary school 200,000 € for repairs and local needs. The CDU also plans to expand the volunteer office as a point of contact, platform, and enabler.

Digital communication is another priority for the CDU, which aims to optimize existing systems and develop the "CityKey App". They also plan to make citizen offices more accessible through digital appointment booking and a mobile offering.

The CDU has a plan to combat littering and neglect of the cityscape, which includes strengthening the emptying of public waste bins, recycling, and clothing containers, focusing on consistent green space maintenance, establishing a "Task Force Graffiti", maintaining clean and safe playgrounds, and ensuring sufficient public toilets.

In response to the general shortage of skilled workers, the CDU aims to increase digitization and the targeted use of AI. They also accept the challenge of accommodating refugees and cooperate with partners like Habitat.

The CDU views the city administration as a service provider for citizens and plans to make it more efficient, thrifty, and digitally oriented. They have nominated Alexander Felsch as their candidate for the mayoral election, who is also supported by the FDP. The CDU has put forward a candidate for each of the 26 electoral districts and an additional "piggyback" candidate. The reserve list is led by faction leader Michael Metten.

The CDU also plans to construct new residential buildings in the second row and expand existing buildings to create additional living space. They have introduced a "resident program" to preferentially allocate municipal building plots to residents in Bergisch Gladbach. The CDU supports the integration concept of the city, which is currently being revised.

However, there are no specific details available about a comprehensive traffic solution plan by the CDU for Bergisch Gladbach. Further search or direct sources from the CDU in Bergisch Gladbach would be needed to find their comprehensive traffic proposals.
