Start of construction for the group rooms
As the community further informs, on March 8th the extension of the group rooms at the Krattigen school building “started according to plan.” The community assembly approved the required loan of 520,000 francs last year. The project will be carried out in several stages. The best possible consideration is given to school operations. “In particular, the aim is to use the school holidays intensively for construction work. The extension is to be handed over to the Krattigen school for use after the summer holidays.
Church needs to improve
On June 24, 2020, the municipal assembly decided on the partial revision of the local planning and submitted it to the Office for Municipalities and Regional Planning for approval. After examining the documents, the canton informed the municipality in mid-December 2020 that “approval reservations have been established which the municipality has to correct,” says the message.
After consulting with the involved planner, the municipal council partially amended the building regulations and asked the canton to make the remaining largely formal adjustments by the canton as part of the ex officio approval. The response from the canton is expected to be received by the municipality after Easter.
