Hadern residents' meeting to be held on 22 October

Residents of Hadern, Munich's 20th district, can raise local concerns at a residents' meeting on Thursday 22 October at 7pm in the gym of the primary school at Großhaderner Straße 50. The meeting was announced by Lord Mayor Dominik Krause in agreement with the Hadern district committee.

The meeting will be chaired by city councillor Veronika Mirlach, deputy leader of the CSU group on the city council. It will open with updates on key issues and projects in the district from Ms Mirlach and the district committee chair, Gabriele Radeck.

The main topics are expected to be traffic, safety and building projects. On traffic, these include crossroads, traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and routes to school, traffic calming in residential areas, particularly given heavy traffic linked to the western tangential tram line and renovation work, action against illegal parking, more residents' parking and electric charging points, and speed checks. Under safety and cleanliness, the agenda includes action against wild camping and night-time gatherings around the motorway bridges, including police checks, missing or inadequate street and pavement lighting, increasing litter and overflowing bins, pigeons and pigeon lofts, and more foxes in private gardens. Building and infrastructure items include the new Hauner children's hospital at Großhadern hospital, a new car park there as the first step in the hospital's wider redevelopment, the second phase of the kbo children's centre and the renovation of the student halls of residence on Heiglhofstraße, which are bringing heavy construction traffic, the extension of the U6 to Martinsried, and the supply of nursery and childcare places.

From 6pm to 7pm, residents can put questions directly to representatives of city departments and organisations, including the Building Department's parks and civil engineering teams, the Mobility Department's road traffic team, the Department of Climate and Environmental Protection's energy advice service, the Public Order Office's district inspectorate, the Health Department's advisers on protection against the tiger mosquito, Munich Cemeteries and Funeral Services and the Munich transport company MVG. Ms Radeck will also be there, and usually the Senior Citizens' Advisory Council, the police, the city information service and the local social services centre attend as well.

Motions and questions must be raised in person at the meeting and submitted in writing. The form is available at www.muenchen.de/buergerversammlung and will also be handed out at the start of the meeting. Anyone wishing to vote is asked to bring official photo ID to prove they live in the district, and will then receive a card allowing them to take part in all votes. Motions passed will be displayed in full at the western office of district committees 20, 21, 22, 23 and 25 at Landsberger Straße 486, where the related city council and district committee papers can also be viewed. A newsletter for each district can be subscribed to at www.muenchen.de/newsletter-bv.
