Kita closure in Manfort: City administration is criticized!

The situation around the daycare centers in Leverkusen is heading. In a current incident, the daycare center had to be closed on Scharnhorststrasse. The cause is unpleasant smells that make the operation of the facility intolerable. The city parent council has sharp criticism of the city administration. According to radioleverkusen.de it is not accused of acting, but only to react to acute problems.

The problem with the odor nuisance has been known for a long time before the daycare is closed. This increases the impression that the city administration naively deals with the maintenance of the facilities. Children who were previously looked after in Scharnhorststraße are now forced to be distributed to other daycare centers. This raises questions about the planning security of the Leverkusen families.

criticism of the city administration and demands of the Greens

In addition to the closure of the daycare center on Scharnhorststrasse, there are further worrying developments. The city parent council indicates two urban daycare centers on Dhünnstraße, which have been vacant since 2021 and fall for renovation without measures. The rp-online.de should show that the city cores show much more initiative and the need for the needs of the needs To meet families.

In response to the catastrophic situation, the Leverkusen Greens submitted an application to the city council that provides for the construction of a transitional daycare center in modular construction. This is to be built in the parking lot on Scharnhorststraße in order to make childcare places available again as quickly as possible. Irina Prüm, the children's and youth policy spokeswoman for the Greens, emphasizes: "The challenges for affected families are significant and urgently require a temporary solution."

expectations and demands for politics

Anja Brandl, the chair of the city parent council Leverkusen, demands clear and quick solutions from politics. "It is not enough to only react, but we also have to think preventively," she says. Especially with regard to the closure of the DRK facility in Nobelstrasse, this is perceived as an additional negative development. The city parent council expects these premises to be integrated into the adjacent urban daycare center to avoid lack of space.

The commitment of the parent representatives is hindered by the stagnating processes in the city administration. While the public is waiting for a transformation of the current care situation, the necessary renovation measures on the existing daycare centers seem to be in the background.
