Seven Soltau Mayoral Candidates Offer Diverse Traffic Solutions

Seven mayoral candidates in Soltau shared their visions and ideas at a recent podium discussion, hosted by the Böhme Newspaper. The event saw candidates offering diverse solutions to the city's traffic problems and other local issues. Olaf Ahrens, one of the candidates, stressed the role of a mayor as an administrator and proposed bolstering public transport through creative measures to ease traffic congestion. Karsten Brockmann presented specific proposals, including adjusting school closing times and rerouting traffic to improve city flow. Volker Wrigge, another candidate, cautioned against overburdening the city with debt and rejected expensive projects like a tunnel, swimming pool, or cinema as solutions to Soltau's traffic woes. Henrich Seißelberg considered a swimming pool unaffordable and advocated for better cycling conditions instead. The event also saw independent candidates Thomas Beckmann and Michael Ziemann criticizing more politically experienced competitors and arguing for fresh perspectives in local governance. SPD candidate Birhat Kacar and CDU candidate Volker Wrigge, however, both emphasized their independence throughout the evening.
