Drug market in Flintbek: Does the longed -for change come?

Flintbek, Deutschland - In Flintbek, the desire for a drugstore remains an important topic. The committee for urban planning recently voted against the settlement of a drugstore with 4 to 3 votes. This decision was made despite the present applications and the numerous interest of the citizens in such a project. The CDU has formulated an application that aims at the upcoming meeting of the municipal council to check the settlement of a drugstore.

CDU spokesman Christian Kummetz emphasizes that many citizens have expressed the need for a drugstore because there is a supply gap. The application calls for an examination of the settlement on the area opposite the striking market and takes into account the possibility of a two-story building with a drugstore on the ground floor. Investors have already given positive feedback on the location on Eiderkamp, which is conveniently located and heavily frequented. According to the CDU's application, the settlement would bring advantages such as the strengthening of local trade, the creation of jobs and the increase in the attractiveness of Flintbek's shopping location.

wishes of the citizens and existing concerns

The citizens express their wish for a drugstore so that they do not have to go to Kiel or Bordesholm. The discussion about the settlement has been going on since 2016, initially in the area of the Edeka market and now in the Eiderkamp. Signatures were collected in the past; Kai Trachsel and Fabian Rother handed over around 1000 signatures to the local government. The Flintbek municipal council will meet on Wednesday, March 26, from 7.30 p.m. in the town hall to continue discussing the topic.

In addition, the research on urban development reports that a drugstore could replace an existing retail, with a possible location on the old Famila site. It could also be shown that a smaller drugstore needs parking areas, which could affect the attractiveness of the new center in connection with a planned parking lot. There are concerns that a drugstore could only bring insufficient added value for the community. At the same time, it is proposed to create a marketplace for regional products in order to promote the diversity of offers to increase the attractiveness and quality of life in Flintbek, such as Ortsentwicklintbek.de reported.
