Beate Kimmel takes a positive balance after one year as a mayor
In Kaiserslautern, the incumbent mayor Beate Kimmel (SPD) has had an exciting year at the top of the city. She took over the office almost a year ago by Klaus Weichel (SPD) and is now taking the opportunity to take stock. The city has made progress during this time, but also faces challenges that need to be tackled.
The city council work describes Kimmel as consistently positive and pleasant. The local politicians would have worked together surprisingly well, despite the tensions and disappointments that arose in the run -up to the election. The mayor emphasizes that it has been possible to initiate many conversations, which has led to a faster and targeted work in the city council. Topics are processed faster and the speech have been adjusted to increase the efficiency of the meetings.
challenges in the security situation
Another approach to ensure more security could be the introduction of video surveillance. Kimmel explains that the country's support for the implementation of such solutions is crucial. Together with the citizens, the municipality tries to develop a positive story about the city in order to reduce fears and increase the feeling of security.
economic upswing and progress
Another concern of the mayor is to improve the customer service in the citizens' center. Here she makes her displeasure clear: the waiting times are often inappropriately long and the administration has to become more user -friendly. She herself recently had difficulties in allocating appointments, which underlines the need for action in this area.
Beate Kimmel is committed to ensuring that Kaiserslautern remains worth living. Therefore, a development concept is being worked on that aims to upgrade various districts. She also invited hoteliers to bring movement to the tourism sector. Kimmel's initiative to promote citizen dialogues by the "democratic shop" during the local elections is seen as a prime example of successful citizen participation. Kimmel proudly reports on the nationwide attention that this approach has received.
In summary, it can be said that Beate Kimmel looks back on a mixed year that brought both success and challenges. Their efforts to develop Kaiserslautern positively show the first fruits, but it remains to be seen how the city deals with the existing difficulties.
