That is a disaster for the city, the damage to the image is also considerable, ”says Rieds SPÖ Vice Mayor Peter Stummer. He and Federal Councilor Sebastian Forstner criticize the later opening of the Rieder outdoor pool and the price increases.“ We should actually take measures to increase the financial coverage. We would have had to market the product well. The sale of season tickets would have been one of the possibilities, ”said Stummer. From 2017 you could buy discounted season tickets on the SPÖ initiative. According to Forstner and Stummer, there were around 1400 season ticket owners annually. According to Stummer, around 35,000 visitors came to the outdoor pool last summer.
Outdoor pool opens a month later
There is no longer a strongly discounted season ticket offer this summer, and the outdoor pool will not be opened until the end of May/early June. “The SPÖ Ried naturally voted against these measures in the city council,” says Stummer and adds: “I have the feeling that the ÖVP and FPÖ would like to pay for people to pay taxes to leave the house at eight to go to work and come home at 6 p.m. Such cuts are about the quality of life in the city. “Nobody understands that. The summer months are getting hotter. We reduce the opening times of our outdoor pool and increase prices.” According to Stummer, the measures adopted in the city council were not prescribed criteria of the country at the hardness compensation communities. “Many mothers and fathers called me who have no understanding,” says Forstner.
