Dangerous school open spaces in Vienna: Children's life in danger!

shocking security deficiencies in Vienna's schools have now been uncovered by the city technical center. The family spokeswoman for the SPÖ, Silvia Janoch, criticized the city of Vienna for its negligence in dealing with serious dangers that endanger the health of children. In an investigation of the open spaces of educational institutions, the city architecture center found that serious defects, some of which have been unsolved for years, were simply ignored. Not only schoolyards, but also green areas and playground equipment are affected. Despite clear recommendations for the elimination of toxic plants, such as golden rain, there is no reaction from the authorities. "It is incomprehensible that those responsible for SPÖ and Neos are waiting for so long," said Janoch.

The alarming findings also show a dramatic increase in accidents in schoolyards and in sports facilities. Missing examination findings for play equipment in open spaces were not presented by the city tariff farm, which also escalated the situation. "There is danger in delay," warned Janoch. It calls for the Vienna city government to take responsibility for every accident that could have been prevented with simple, preventive measures. The comprehensive checks of the city development center, which has been the independent control body since 1920, reveal in a frightening way that basic safety regulations are not met. Further details on the test reports are accessible in the online offer of the city college courtyard, which processed all relevant information transparently, as can be found on Stadtkollungshof.wien.gv.at
