The construction of a new daycare center in Uetersen is currently the focus of local politics. In a statement, the BFB (Alliance for Citizens) criticized the behavior of the Evangelical Church, which acts as the owner of the property. According to the local politician, the church hinders the progress in the new day care center, which endangers the urgently needed places for children.
The allegations of the BFB include that the church not only complicates the conversations about the transfer of use of the property, but also owe clear information about its intentions. This leads to uncertainty among the responsible bodies and among the population that hopes for the realization of the daycare center. Since the increased demands on early childhood care have a high priority, especially in urban areas, the creation of new childcare places is particularly important.
reasons for criticism
The problems related to new daycare are not new, but the latest developments have taken up the topic again. The BfB criticizes that the Evangelical Church is not very cooperative in conversations. One expects the church to take responsibility for the social infrastructure, after all, it is a duty as the owner of the area. This situation has led to an intensive discussion about the role of church institutions in the provision of public services.
Another point that contributes to criticism is the question of flexibility in decisions. The BfB is committed to the fact that the church coordinates faster than before with the city and the providers of the facility in order to find solutions together. Politicians see the delays as unacceptable, especially in view of the high demand for childcare places in Uetersen. Registrations for daycare centers rise every year, while at the same time the number of places available does not grow.
The matter is of great relevance, since many parents in the region rely on the fastest possible opening of the new facility. You want to bring your offspring to a loving and beneficial environment in which he is well looked after. Therefore, the continuing delays can have serious effects on families in Uetersen.
In addition, there is a broader discussion about the general challenges in the field of early childhood education and support. In view of the demographic development and the growing population in many German cities, municipalities are forced to create further institutions. In this context, the availability of the appropriate building land and the cooperation with property owners, such as the church, is considered fundamentally for the further expansion of the infrastructure.
