A new dispute in Coesfeld has heated the minds! The city, which only relied on the inner city area at 1.80 euros per hour at the beginning of the year, is now faced with the possibility of drastically reducing them. Today the Council decides on the fate of parking fees and the citizens ask themselves: How deep will the price really fall?

The SPD is ready to take a step in the right direction and wants to reduce the fees to 1.60 euros per hour. "We do not want to give the impression that parking in Coesfeld is impossible," emphasizes the SPD representative. Because these negative associations could hard to hit local retail! But that's not all. The CDU continues and demands sensational 1.20 euros per hour, supported by a proposal for free parking from 2 p.m. - a step that could get the customers back! But not everyone is enthusiastic about the bargain prices. The Greens warn of the consequences of lower fees and fear that this could prevent people from switching to more environmentally friendly things such as bicycle or public transport.

Today is the crucial day when the course for parking culture in Coesfeld is set. The question remains: will the city of clever do business or give in to the urge to appease the drivers?
