Park am Sandbach: Participation until 8 October

Citizens can still submit their ideas and suggestions for the park at Sandbach (Ententeich) until 8 October. A site inspection has now taken place, during which the planning office involved presented its first draft.

The park at Sandbach, also known in Bocholt as the "duck pond", is being redesigned. Ideas from the citizens will also be incorporated into the planning. A first draft of the plan was presented at a site meeting by the planning office "brandenfels landscape + environment".

Before the short walk through the park, participants from the city of Bocholt and the planning office met with citizens in the St. Paul parish hall. There, Bocholt's city planning officer Daniel Zöhler welcomed the guests. "We are looking forward to many creative suggestions and a great deal of participation by the people of Bocholt," said Zöhler.

After a brief welcome, Hermann-Josef Vogt from the waste disposal and service company presented the project and its current status. Uwe Strauß (brandenfels landscape + environment) then presented the different variants.

The designs presented so far envisage both a significant ecological improvement and better usability by neighbouring schools and kindergartens as well as residents.

Digital participation still possible

Citizens can find the participation project under the title "Umbau Sandbachpark mit Ententeich am Heutingsweg" (Reconstruction of Sandbach Park with Duck Pond on Heutingsweg) on the city's website at www.bocholt.de/buergerbeteiligung. There they can still participate digitally until 8 October. Proposals can be submitted there until 8 October.
