Drunk driver caused car shunt in the Weißkirchener Straße
April 2, 2013 By
A 44-year-old woman from Oberursel was driving along the Weißkirchener Straße in her Opel Agila last Thursday (28th March, 2013) when she hit a BMW 316 which had been parked at the side of the road. The force of the collision shunted the BMW onto a Renault Clio that was parked in front of it. The total damage is estimated at €10,000.
Police believe that the accident was caused by the excessive alcohol that the driver had consumed. A blood sample was taken and her Bulgarian driving license was confiscated. She now faces a fine and the loss of her license for a considerable time. She will probably also be required to take a psychological examination before it is returned to her.

OBG says sauna would pose a risk for the town’s finances
April 2, 2013 By
Local political group the OBG do not belive that adding a sauna to the new indoor swimming pool would make financial sense, as they claim it would cost more to build and run than it would make in revenue. In fact, the leader of their parliamentary group Georg Braun says that this has been clear to them since the summer of 2011.
According to an expert opinion, the income from a sauna would cover the running costs, but not when the cost of building it is added to the equation. Georg Braun was quoted as asking “What use would the higher revenue be, if the investment costs are not covered?”
The OBG went into the pedestrian area of the town on Saturday morning, and reported that in many of their conversations with passers-by the people of the town are confused by what they call the “half truths” of the sauna supporters. They also warn that if the sauna were to make a loss, then the taxpayer would have to pick up the bill. [Read more…]
