Peine asks: Should the road construction contribution be abolished?

Peine. The upcoming citizen survey on the future of road construction contributions raises questions and requires proactive measures to participate.

A call for active participation

The city of Peine will ask its citizens in the coming September whether the currently raised road construction contributions should be abolished. This is an important decision that has a direct impact on the financial situation of many property owners and the general development of the city.

important deadlines for the citizens

Interested citizens already have the opportunity to view the list of survey. This is available in the town hall, from Monday, August 12, until Friday, August 16. Anyone whose name is not listed in the directory should report immediately in the citizens' office, otherwise he runs the risk of not being able to participate in the survey. This period is crucial, since the possibility of correction only exists until Friday, August 16 at 12 p.m.

Who can have a say?

The citizens' survey is aimed at all citizens who are entitled to vote that are 16 at the latest on the last day of the survey period and have had their main residence in Peine for at least three months. You can probably give your opinion between September 2 and 23. It is possible to coordinate anonymously, and all beneficiaries will be equipped with the necessary documents in good time.

background and financial implications

At the moment, the residents are obliged to participate in the costs of road expansion and in the adjoining facilities, such as street lighting. While all other rural communities have now dispensed with these contributions, the city of Peine remains the only one who maintains this practice. However, a possible abolition could lead to property tax B increased in order to close the resulting funding gaps.

The survey issue

The crucial question on the questionnaire will be how the road expansion should be financed in the future. Citizens can choose between maintaining road construction contributions or an increase in property tax B. This decision will not only have financial consequences, but also reflect public opinion on urban development.

opening times of the citizens' office

To ensure that the citizens receive all the necessary information, the opening times of the citizens' office are as follows:

• Mondays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
• Friday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

The upcoming citizen survey is a significant opportunity to set the course for the future financial policy of the city of Peine. It is to be hoped that many citizens make use of their right to give their vote and actively participate in the design of their city.
