The relocation of the weekly market is included in the draft of the integrated action concept "Innenstadt Bocholt - Perspektive 2025". In order to make a clear political commitment to the location of the market in the Gasthausplatz, the Ortsverband Mitte will make an appropriate amendment to the CDU parliamentary group for the further deliberations of the integrated action concept. This was decided by the Executive Board during its last meeting. "The weekly market on the Gasthausplatz is not only a magnet for the Bocholter, but also for many visitors to the city, who regularly come to Bocholt to buy fresh local produce on the market. For the numerous restaurateurs and retailers based in the Liebfrauenviertel, the weekly market on the Gasthausplatz has an existential significance: through the market, potential customers are lured into the neighborhood. Without the regular weekly market at the inn, there is a great danger that exactly these sales-relevant customer flows will dry up. Against this background, we consider a shift of the weekly market away from the inn place unreasonable. Rather, we see a great opportunity to develop together with all concerned - market feeders, restaurateurs and retailers - an attractive future concept for the inn, which allows both the use of the weekly market as well as gastronomic offers, "said [...]

Bakers and bakery sellers should be able to bake larger bread rolls: For the around 1.700 people who work in the bakeries in the district Borken, the union food-pleasure-restaurants (NGG) calls for an increase of 140 Euro. "Getting up early, heat in the bakery, cleaning after shop closure - the employees do a bone job. That has to be noticeable in the wallet, "says Helge Adolphs, Managing Director of NGG Münsterland. However, the Verband der Rheinische Bäckerhandwerks and the Bäckerinnungs-Verband Westfalen-Lippe only offer a plus between 1,2 and 2,2 percent for the various wage groups. For bakers after the apprenticeship that would not even be 26 Euro more per month.
