The Würzburg city council said goodbye to the summer break. Although there was another 60 items on the agenda to be dealt with in the last meeting on Thursday, the councils were through with all the topics after almost four and a half hours – a follow-up meeting next week is therefore not necessary.
No air filters for the classrooms
On the one hand, it was decided that the city would not purchase air filters for the city’s schools across the board. You only want to invest in filter systems in individual cases and in future general renovations.
Planned memorial site for victims of the knife attack
Würzburg is to get a memorial for the victims of the knife attack on June 25th. The city council has accepted a relevant and bipartisan proposal. The city administration will now create a memorial site in coordination with the families of the victims. The location, the type of design and a time for the memorial do not yet exist. The city administration had also recommended that the application be accepted. On June 25, a 24-year-old Somali man killed three women with a knife in a department store and injured another nine people, some of them life-threatening.
No Sunday driving ban on the Upper Main Quay
There will be no Sunday driving ban on the Upper Main Quay. After the government of Lower Franconia had already overturned this plan, the city council has now decided that too. The Greens originally wanted to open the area on the Main exclusively for recreation on Sundays for pedestrians and cyclists. The city council decided in May despite legal concerns from the government of Lower Franconia. This decision has now been repealed.
City councilors say goodbye in the summer vacation
The last city council meeting traditionally ends before the summer break with a joint bratwurst dinner for the city councilors, so the meeting should have ended by 9 p.m., otherwise there would have been another meeting next week. The meeting on Thursday ended at around 7:30 p.m. The next scheduled city council meeting is on September 30th. Until then, a small staffed vacation committee meets twice.
