Winter service in Zell-Weierbach: old machines, new challenges!

Zell-Weierbach, Deutschland - A call to patience! The Zell-Weierbacher local mayor Willi Wunsch urged to understand possible delays in winter service at the recent meeting of the local council. The reason? The municipal clearing vehicle has had its best years and could stall during the critical winter key season!

Winter service in Zell-Weierbach starts on Saturday, November 16, 2024, and will be active until March 21, 2025. The operational times are staggered: from Monday to Thursday there will be cleared between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m. and from 3:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. The operation begins at 4 a.m. on Fridays and ends at 10 p.m., on weekends and public holidays even from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. The drivers are alerted by the technical companies (TBO) and their hours of use are meticulously documented.

A central topic in the session was the dusty clearing vehicle that is used for winter service. The old Ladog could not be replaced by the city administration, which also exacerbates the situation. In order to counteract the impending failure, a used device was converted into a rental agreement in 2022, but this too has a few kilometers on its hump. Local mayor Wish warns: "We have to expect continuous complaints if our vehicle fails!"

To strengthen the team, additional drivers are welcome! The wish encouraged the citizens to report if they are interested. The willingness of the community could be crucial to master the challenges of winter. The information was noted by the local council, but the challenges remain! Who still has the stinging questions of winter under control?
