The goal is always to maintain existing local supply locations
With the closure of a net branch in the Darmstadt Woogsviertel, Mayor and Head of Economic Affairs Hanno Benz once again emphasized the importance of a well-functioning local supply infrastructure in the districts and announced its support and mediation.
“Our business development agency is currently to determine the exact state of affairs in exchange with the parties. Even if Netto itself will no longer operate the market and the closure is now confirmed at the end of March, we would like to convince the owner to secure the local supply options when further renting. Therefore, we are in contact with the owners and hope for success. ”Mayor Hanno Benz continues:“ My overarching goal as the economic director is always the preservation of existing local supply options in all districts of Darmstadt. As in the case of the former Rewe market in the Black Weg, we also want to achieve this goal. ”
In principle, the local supply situation has also been declining in the Woogsviertel in recent years. Things of daily use and especially butchers and bakeries are often only located in central places. The branch network of banks and post offices is also thin. This is an obstacle for older or limited mobile people. “Fortunately, there is another shop at a 500 meter distance to the Netto City branch on Roßdörfer Strasse. This ensures that the offer is not completely eliminated. The aim is now to prevent the elimination of a shop as far as possible. ”
