Chaos at the swimming lake: City of Borken announces strict measures against illegal parking!
Borken experiences a rush to the swimming lakes during the summer heat, which leads to illegal parking and new regulations.
Chaos at the swimming lake: City of Borken announces strict measures against illegal parking!
The hottest summer days are currently attracting numerous people to the idyllic shores of the Stockelache natural swimming lake and the Singliser See in Borken. On the first hot Sunday, a whopping 4,100 bathers flocked to these popular spots - but with the crowds comes some problems that not only raise concerns for the city administration, but also for local residents.
One of the biggest annoyances is the chaotic parking situation. Drivers repeatedly park on the main road or in the neighboring villages, which causes considerable disruption. The city of Borken is therefore planning to take tougher action against these illegal parkers and corresponding violations, such as HNA reported. In recent years, 30 legal cases against illegal parking have already been won.
An emergency call from the neighborhood
The traffic rules in Borken are primarily intended to help avoid obstructions, annoyances and, above all, dangers. Any illegal parker who obstructs the field or blocks access roads will not only be faced with trouble, but also with a fine. The catalog of fines clearly defines the penalties involved. For example, towing vehicles that block escape routes already costs 270 euros; If an objection is also lost, an additional 1,500 euros will be charged. Details on such regulations can be found at the Borken district Borken district.
But it's not just the wrong parking spaces that are a problem. The cleanliness of the lake also leaves a lot to be desired. Residents repeatedly complain about the garbage that bathers leave behind. The city appeals to the responsibility of parents to supervise their children and to guests to pay attention to their surroundings.
New regulations and penalties
However, there are also new regulations for the bathing season that are intended to make staying at the lake safer and more pleasant: horses are no longer allowed to go into the water and dogs are only allowed to be taken to a designated beach area. Grilling on dry grass is punishable by a fine of 100 euros, which comes to 128 euros including fees. Repeated violations can even lead to a ban on visits.
The city has also introduced a new parking space management system that optimizes the public order office's controls through license plate scanning. This should not only minimize incorrect parking, but also improve the utilization of public spaces. Within this regulation, stopping without a parking permit is permitted, for example, to get in or out or to load or unload.
The fire department also warns of the dangers of parked driveways, as hot catalytic converters in the grass can cause a fire. Together with the clean-up work, which takes four to five hours after the bathing operation, an overall picture emerges that obliges the city administration to take urgent action.
With a good knack for enforcing these measures, the city of Borken hopes to improve the situation by the end of the bathing season. After all, it's not just about order, but also about the safety of all bathers.
