Brigittenau senior parliament: excursion and new seating planned

The Brigittenau senior parliament made important decisions at its last meeting, which could significantly influence the lives of older people in the district. The committed group, which enables the older population to actively participate in the design of their surroundings, has particularly emphasized the need for additional seating. These benches are to be set up in various Grätzln of the Brigittenau in order to offer the citizens more opportunities to linger.

In one of the central points, the installation of a new bank with a roofing at the Gaussplatz was requested. In addition, the plenary advised about Friedrich-Engels-Platz, where it is planned to set up additional waste bins. A disturbing garbage can that hinder sitting on the bench is to be removed. District head Christine Dubravac-Widholm (SPÖ) made it clear that when listing, care should be taken to not place benches directly in front of houses in order to avoid possible complaints from the residents.

positive response to new seating

The application for more seating in Klosterneuburger Strasse and Adalbert-Stifter-Straße received a remarkable positive feedback. The exact locations of the new benches have not yet been determined, but this does not harm the commitment of the senior parliament. In addition, there was a trip to the Viennese water supply, organized by the Wiener Wasser (MA 31) magistrate department, another point on the agenda. The planned excursion is scheduled to take place in March 2025 and promises to offer an exciting program, including inspection of underground halls.

The senior parliament, an innovation that was launched under the initiative of the former district manager Hannes Derfler, stands for active participation. Through regular meetings in the Brigittenau pensioners clubs, senior citizens can bring in their concerns, wishes and suggestions. This format promotes participation and ensures that the voices of the older generation are heard.

Dubravac-Widholm commented on the progress: "The senior parliament is an important participation project in Brigittenau. On the one hand, as a district manager, I have a good insight into the worlds of the older population, on the other hand, a group of people have a loud voice again." The initiatives illuminate the essential role that older people play in their community and underline the endeavor to constantly improve the quality of life in the district.

summarized the senior parliament has set the course for significant changes in public space, which could underline the commitment of the older generation and strengthen networking within the community.
