Rescue attempt for Friedberg: District council fights against rail plans!

What does the future of rail transport in Friedberg look like? This question is currently at the center of the political discussion in the Wetterau. The district council passed a resolution today that calls on Deutsche Bahn and the Federal Ministry of Transport to reverse the drastic reduction in ICE stops in Friedberg from 13 to just 2. This measure is seen as a significant blow to the region's central rail transport hub, as fr.de reports.

The CDU parliamentary group leader Sebastian Wysocki advocates good local and long-distance transport connections and emphasizes their importance for the future viability of the region. The Greens also agree and have contributed a similar draft resolution. On the other hand, the FDP submitted an amendment that deleted some demands on Deutsche Bahn and the Ministry of Transport. This shows that party-political tensions are inevitable; There were heated debates during the meeting, particularly between the FDP and the other factions.

Agreement on resolution

The parliamentary groups finally agreed on a joint text that calls on Deutsche Bahn to revise the planned timetable changes. District Administrator Jan Weckler (CDU) should continue to campaign for the preservation of the existing connections, and the district council supports the initiatives of the Bundestag members to convince Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder (CDU). The resolution passed unanimously, showing that there is a united front on this important issue.

In addition to the discussions about transport connections, an emergency request from the AfD regarding traffic safety at a pedestrian traffic light in Glauburg-Stockheim was also discussed. However, this was rejected by a large majority. District councilor Marion Götz (SPD) made it clear that an alleged serious accident at this point was not recorded in the police statistics, which further weakened the AfD's argument. As SPD parliamentary group leader Christine Jäger emphasizes, there is no urgency for this application.

Think outside the box

But there is a lot to be said not only in the political area. Winter is just around the corner and many people are looking for ways to stay active and have fun. A great option is IceForum, which offers skating classes year-round. Here, skaters of all ages and abilities – from beginners to national competitors – can hone their skills with guidance. The courses range from Basic 1 to Freeskate 2 for young and old.

The Snowplow Sam Series in particular for children aged 3 to 6 years encourages their first steps on the ice in a playful way. There are also suitable courses for adults, so everyone gets their money's worth. Registrations are available both online and in person, with students asked to arrive a little early on the first day of school and bring their class registration card.

However, this outdoor fun should also be taken into account - especially for people with asthma.
