Helping to shape the Aasee of the future

What could Bocholter Aasee and the surrounding area look like in the future? What should the development focus on? Bocholt residents can also provide answers to these and other questions - as part of a public participation process that starts on Monday, 19 September.

In addition to the four-week online survey, there will be a public event on Saturday, 24 September at Strandcafé Ottilie (Aasee-Badebucht). From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., citizens can present and contribute their ideas and suggestions there.

Among other things, there will be a large floor carpet with an aerial photograph of Lake Aa on which wishes and suggestions can be placed. "The planners want to get into dialogue with Bocholt residents in particular", says city planning officer Daniel Zöhler. The offer complements the online survey, which will be conducted from 19 September to 17 October.

Online survey with virtual map

A survey and a digital map of the Aasee area will be available for online participation, on which suggestions can be entered and pinned.

The results of the public survey will then be analysed and incorporated into the planning process. A more detailed investigation will be carried out for the areas of the bathing bay and the leisure centre with the mobile home park.

The aim is to further develop the Aasee as a local recreation area for citizens by drawing up a framework plan. According to the city of Bocholt, as many suggestions and wishes as possible from the participation will be incorporated into the concept.

The online participation starts on Monday, 19 September, on the city of Bocholt's website at www.bocholt.de.
