From the town council… dog tax, library fees, changing rooms and icebergs
December 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
This week saw the town council in Oberursel sit for the last time in 2012.
With major topics such as the new swimming pool, the budget, childcare costs, and even the station kiosk dealt with previously, this could have been a sitting to tidy up loose ends, and in many ways it was. Except that all of those topics managed to come up again, the latter without even being remotely on the agenda.
At the beginning, the question and answer session revealed that although dogs are required to wear a dog tag to show that the tax for them has been paid, this is not checked unless there is a problem with dogs fouling a particular area.
We learnt of the confusion over the annual cycle races on 1st May, one of which the town is listed as a sponsor for, although the money comes from other sponsors that the town finds. Sub-sponsors if you like. It does not come out of the town budget. [Read more…]

Beware of the “slip of paper” trick
December 19, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Police in Oberursel are warning people to be aware of the so-called “slip of paper” trick (“Zetteltrick”).
In a recent incident, two women of south-east European appearance, one slim and between 20 and 25 years old, the other over 60 and well built, rang the door bell of a 75-year-old in the Lahnstraße and asked for a piece of paper to write a note on (presumably to leave a message for someone else in the block).
The 75-year-old let them into her flat and while one of the women distracted her, the other searched the flat for valuables. A watch was stolen.
