From the 9 to 11 January 2026 the party executive committee and members of the CDU Meerbusch for an intensive and constructive dialogue. The discussions centred on the Draft budget for the year 2026, which was discussed in detail against the backdrop of tight financial conditions.
Under the guiding principle „Saving where possible“ we carefully analysed the city's financial scope from various perspectives. In doing so, it was particularly important to us to responsibly examine potential savings without jeopardising the city's ability to act.
At the same time, it is clear that the statutory duties of a municipality must be reliably fulfilled at all times. These requirements set natural limits to savings and make it clear that there are no simple solutions. This makes it all the more important to use the available funds in a balanced and responsible manner.
This challenging balancing act requires decisions with a sense of proportion, foresight and a clear focus on the future of our city. With this in mind, we will continue to endeavour to consistently pursue the path we have embarked upon. in the interests of a liveable Meerbusch and for the benefit of all citizens.
