All issues in detail
More green in the city
A hundred new trees a year.
The problem. In summer many streets in Winterthur get very hot. There is too little shade on squares and playgrounds.
My position. Trees cool the streets and make the city nicer. Every neighbourhood should have a say in where new trees grow.
What I will do
- A hundred new trees a year
- More shade on playgrounds
- Drinking fountains on large squares
What I have already done. With the neighbourhood association we planted 60 trees in Töss.

An open meeting every month.
The problem. Many people feel that politics does not hear them. Decisions are made far from where they live.
My position. I answer to no party, only to the people here. I explain each vote in plain words.
What I will do
- A monthly open meeting nearby
- Each vote explained on my site
What I have already done. For eight years I have chaired the meetings of our local group.

Continuous bike paths into the centre.
The problem. Many bike paths in Winterthur suddenly stop. At some junctions it gets dangerous for children.
My position. Anyone who rides a bike should arrive safely. That also helps everyone on foot or by car.
What I will do
- Close the gaps in the bike network
- Safe junctions near schools
What I have already done. I ride my bike to work every day.

Better working hours for care staff.
The problem. Many care staff leave the job after a few years. Time for the patients is getting short.
My position. Care staff need shifts they can plan and less paperwork. Then they stay in the job, and everyone benefits.
What I will do
- Rotas at least four weeks in advance
- Less documentation at the computer
What I have already done. I have worked in nursing for over 20 years.

A meeting place in every neighbourhood.
The problem. In some neighbourhoods shops and pubs are closing. There are not enough places to meet.
My position. A lively neighbourhood needs shops, benches and rooms for everyone. Empty ground floors should be easier to use.
What I will do
- Open empty shops as meeting places
- More benches on paths and squares
What I have already done. The neighbourhood association turned an empty shop into a meeting place.
