Construction of a landfill in Fisching: Citizens' initiative celebrates success

in the Fisching district, which belongs to the municipality of Weißkirchen, there is news that trigger both joy and disappointment. The operating company Rohrdorfer must accept an unexpected delay in building its planned landfill for building masses and asbestos. Before this plan can be realized, about five additional years must be waited for, which is primarily due to the resistance of citizens' initiatives and the community.

For five years there have been discussions about the construction project that has met with considerable resistance among residents. Immediately after the plans were announced, numerous citizens took part in protest ratings to express their concerns about the possible health risks associated with an asbestos camp. Finally, these measures on the part of the population have led to the fact that the responsible authorities now have to examine whether and how the project can be implemented.

background of the resistance

The citizens' initiative has vehemently spoken out against the project, since asbestos are considered a dangerous substance that can result in serious health consequences in improper handling. In particular, the residents fear that an increase in traffic density by trucks that provide building materials will affect the quality of life in the region. The concern for the health and security of the citizens is in the top priority.

Rohrdorfer sees the delay a setback in their plans and may be forced to adapt their strategy. The current Situation raises questions about how companies and municipalities can work better in the future in order to maintain both economic interests and to take into account the concerns of the citizens. The discussion about the landfill is an example of how important it is that everyone involved comes to the same table and find solutions.

The debate about the asbestos camp will continue to move the minds in Fisching. The next steps for the project are still unclear. However, it will be clear that the pressure from the municipality and the citizens' initiatives will not decrease as long as there is no comprehensive transparency and security.
