Presents around the expansion of the street on the Südwall: residents at the limit!

In Herford, the planned expansion of the street on the south wall ensures discussions among the residents. According to a report by Westfalen-blatt , the residents have already collected 85 signatures for the maintenance of the dead end regulation. Nevertheless, the traffic committee decided to enable access from Friedhofstrasse. An existing prohibition sign is ignored by many drivers, since red and white bollards do not allow to drive through except for garbage vehicles.

For the city of Herford, the expansion of the approximately 300 meter long road is necessary because the condition is assessed as poor; Even in the past, holes had to be filled again and again. The deputy Dr. Peter Böhm said that previous repair measures were not sufficient. The residents have to bear the costs for the expansion, whereby maintaining the dead end regulation by a turning hammer, which is not feasible due to lack of space, is excluded. In the building committee, Michael Wollgramm was the only one against the proposal from the CDU, while the majority voted for the expansion.

Legal information for residents

The debate about the cost sharing of residents on road expansion projects is also absorbed nationwide. The Association of German Property Users (VDGN) reports on a threatening judgment that forces a farmer from Lütjenburg to the city for a payment of 189,000 euros. In some federal states such as Baden-Württemberg, Berlin and Hamburg, road construction contributions no longer apply, which is also required for other regions.

For affected citizens, there are helpful tips: Evidence ensure that the municipalities often neglect road maintenance. In addition, you should find out about your co -determination rights and if you have any doubts about the contribution notices. The examination of the cost sharing and the formation of process communities with neighbors must not be neglected in order to simplify possible legal steps.
