Stadtpark Neunkirchen remains closed - patience required

In Neunkirchen there are currently very worries about the blocking of the city park, which has now been lasting for almost three weeks. The storms of the past few months have severely damaged the city's so -called "green lungs". This has led to a lack of understanding for several citizens of how long the clean -up work will take. The city administration asked for patience.

The storm damage was caused by violent wind gusts that swept across the region on September 12 and 13. These extreme weather conditions meant that numerous, sometimes very old trees were uprooted. The situation was even a danger, whereupon the fire brigade had to cancel its missions in some cases to protect itself from possible injuries.

progress of the cleanup work

Currently most of the park is blocked. Part of the park can only be entered to the Raimundweg. Gerhard Gansterer, the Green Vice Mayor, informed that the work is continuously progressing, but an early opening of the park was not yet in sight. "The damage is considerable and we are constantly working on the elimination of the dangers and the upgrading. However, it takes time," explained Gansterer in a conversation. Many Neunkirchner long for the city park as a local recreation area, which also affects the situation.

The reactions from the population are mostly restless. There are voices that ask "How long can you actually need?". Gansterer cannot give a specific answer. However, he emphasizes that patience is necessary because the extent of the damage is very high and both urban employees and external forces are in use to cope with the situation.

Although the city administration asks for understanding the situation, the feelings are mixed among the citizens. The continued blocking leads to frustration, especially for those who regularly use the city park. It remains to be seen when the work will be completed and the city park is finally accessible to everyone again. Gansterer's appeal, the city needs time, suggests that those affected have to be patient for a while.
