Twistringen chooses: Citizens' projects for a nicer life!

Twistringen chooses: Citizens' projects for a nicer life!

in Twistringen it is bubbling with ideas! The citizens' initiative for Twistringen (Bift) goes into the third round and has sent eight exciting projects into the race that hope for the favor of the citizens. Mayor Jens Bley, who launched the initiative, presented the proposals that are elected by the around 260 members of the BIFF. The results will be announced in the coming year and could change the cityscape of Twistringen sustainably!

The BIFF is an initiative borne by citizens, which collects funds in order to use it 100 percent for projects in Twistringen. Citizens can submit suggestions, be it for the embellishment of public spaces or for urgently needed materials in associations. The more members participate, the larger the pot that the funds flow from. Between 20,000 and 25,000 euros have been distributed in the past two years. Membership is possible from 10 euros per year, and only members can vote on the projects!

The projects at a glance

Here are the eight projects that fight for the support of the BIFF:

• old brick factory: modernization of the event technology with LED technology for 3,000 euros.
• fuel: installation of historical boards for 4,800 euros.
• Heike Hartjes: outdoor music installation in the form of a xylophone for 3,000 euros.
• Nils Lüllmann: Mobile speed meter for 2,300 euros.
• Förderkreis secondary and secondary school: three wooden wave loungers for 6,500 euros.
• Catholic youth: tent (2,500 euros) and table (1,500 euros) for youth free time.
• Förderverein primary school on the market: identical school T-shirts for students and teachers for 4,200 euros.
• old brick factory: Further sky is for 5,000 euros.

Mayor Bley emphasizes that there were originally nine projects to choose from, but one, the exchange of parking benches, is taken over by the administration. The challenge now is to implement as many of these great ideas as possible. The decision will be published in the coming year - the tension is increasing!
