New seating area at the community center in Weiler
As part of the district budget, a seating area with inclusion was installed last Saturday on the forecourt of the community center in Weiler. The local council would like to thank the responsible employees of the city administration, the members of the city council and the Ministry of the Environment, who approved, authorized, and subsidized this project. Further thanks go to the local council member Jens Luxenburger, who took on the construction management, as well as to all the volunteers who carried out this measure for the benefit of the village community.
