Children design Neuwied: Mayor listens to their ideas!

Mayor Peter Jung organized the "Ask the Mayor" series, which was expanded to six appointments. These meetings took place at different locations, including schools and playgrounds, and dealt with topics such as traffic safety as well as leisure and educational offers.

Your wishes range from the creation of additional parks to the construction of a comic shop in the city center to better equipped playgrounds. In addition, schools and daycare centers were discussed as central habitats that need more attention. The children also showed responsibility and suggested measures such as garbage collections and support for homeless people.
