Dispute in Seekirchen

The flood has gone, but the anger remains

The clean-up work in the Inselweg housing estate in Seekirchen in Salzburg's Flachgau region is progressing slowly. The residents feel let down by the head of the town. This is not the first time that the settlement has been flooded. But there is still no flood protection.

The meadows are almost dry again, the puddles on the streets are barely visible. Only the damp, fishy smell in the air still hints at the fatal events of just under a week ago when the "Krone" inspected the site on Monday. As reported, the Seekirchen Inselweg housing estate on the Fischach was under water. Several buildings had to be evacuated and some residents were unable to leave their homes for a short time.
