Wasserprobleme am Fiedelerplatz: Bezirksrat ergreift Maßnahmen

In Hannover, specifically in the district of Döhren, the longstanding issue of poor drainage on the Fiedelerplatz has once again come to the forefront. Following a heavy rain shower just before the start of the Jazz Festival at the end of May, a large puddle formed in front of the stage, prompting jokes about renaming the event „Jazz am See“ (Jazz by the Lake).

Addressing this concern, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) faction presented a proposal to the local council, highlighting the need for regular cleaning of the drainage pipe at Fiedelerplatz and the implementation of suitable measures to prevent recurrent flooding. This proposal was unanimously supported by the council members, emphasizing the importance of resolving the water accumulation issue at the square.

In addition to the drainage problems, the council also discussed other infrastructure improvements in the area. Calls were made for the installation of covered bicycle stands in front of the Freizeitheim Döhren and the provision of defibrillators at both the Freizeitheim and the neighboring community center in Mittelfeld. These measures aim to enhance safety and emergency response capabilities within the community.

Furthermore, the council addressed concerns raised by the SPD regarding the removal of playground equipment in the district without prior notification to the council members. In response, it was resolved that the council should be informed quarterly about any dismantling of playground equipment, including the reasons for removal and any plans for replacement or alternative use of the playground space.

The council also considered a request from the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) to prohibit truck parking in the Holthusenstraße area through appropriate signage on parking lots and the enforcement of regular inspections to prevent unauthorized parking. This initiative aims to improve traffic flow and safety in the neighborhood.

Lastly, the council allocated funding to various local organizations in the district, including support for the HFG Jazz Festival, the Cultural Initiative for the upcoming Kulturlustwandelns event in September 2024, and the Social Association for the installation of a new display case. These sponsorships reflect the council’s commitment to promoting community activities and initiatives within the district of Döhren.
