Conservative Democratic Union unveils its election plan.
In the heart of Germany's North Rhine-Westphalia region, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) in Willich has outlined its vision for the city's future. The party, led by mayoral candidate Christian Pakusch, has set its sights on several key areas, including emergency preparedness, sports, and cultural development.
One of the central tasks for the CDU in Willich is returning the city's leisure centre to the people. The party is also in discussions with the fire department and municipal utilities to ensure the city's readiness during emergencies. While specific details about their emergency preparedness plans for power outages remain undisclosed, the CDU aims to be self-sufficient during such situations, minimising reliance on the Viersen district.
Security is a significant concern for the CDU, with Guido Görtz proposing the implementation of intelligent lighting and video surveillance in critical city areas, such as the Jakob-Frantzen-Hall, to prevent vandalism. However, Görtz assures that these measures are not intended to create a "surveillance state," but rather to protect municipal property.
The CDU's plans for Willich extend beyond security. The party is committed to reducing bureaucratic hurdles for associations and is considering the creation of a digital association and cultural portal. This initiative aims to support local cultural events, such as the Schlossfestspiele, Willich's cultural flagship, and Market Day in Willich.
The CDU's efforts to create living space in Willich have seen the construction of seven kindergartens in the last five years. The party has also collaborated with the city's real estate company and the non-profit housing association of the Viersen district (GWG) to provide housing solutions.
In terms of sports, the CDU plans to continue providing free use of sports facilities and support for sports and cultural associations. Notably, the party has acquired an emergency generator worth 800,000 euros for emergency situations.
Pakusch, the CDU's mayoral candidate, emphasises Willich's strong social cohesion and the city's achievements over the past five years, including an investment of 100 million euros in the city's infrastructure. The CDU also aims to strengthen the local public order service and involve the police more in the city, working in coordination with the Viersen district.
The CDU has printed a total of 25,000 flyers, including an election program called "Roadmap 2030" and a small package of herbs and spices. The party currently has three representatives present in Willich's governing body.
Future projects in Willich include the construction of the Willich fire station, the Katharinenhöfe, a full-service store in Anrath, and the Konrad-Adenauer-Park. These initiatives are part of the CDU's broader strategy to continue enhancing the quality of life in Willich for its residents.
For updated, precise, and up-to-date information about the CDU's emergency strategies specific to Willich, it would be advisable to consult official CDU Willich local party resources, Willich municipal government communications, or direct CDU statements on emergency management.
The CDU, in their policy-and-legislation for Willich, is committed to ensuring the city's readiness during emergencies and is currently discussing this with the fire department and municipal utilities. The party, willingly, aims to minimize the city's reliance on the Viersen district during power outages.
To foster a vibrant cultural scene, the CDU is contemplating the creation of a digital association and cultural portal, which will support local events such as Schlossfestspiele and Market Day in Willich.
