That&#8217;s why the DP Gemeng Mamer is calling for a local service for our elderly and dependent citizens.<\/p>\n\n<p>At the local council meeting on 22 January 2024, local councillors Jessica Klopp and Sven Bindels tabled a motion to this effect.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"935\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dp.lu\/mamer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/01\/Motion-service-de-proximiet-edited-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3028\" style=\"width:1005px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dp.lu\/mamer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/01\/Motion-service-de-proximiet-edited-1.jpg 935w, https:\/\/www.dp.lu\/mamer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/01\/Motion-service-de-proximiet-edited-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dp.lu\/mamer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/01\/Motion-service-de-proximiet-edited-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 935px) 100vw, 935px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The CSV\/LSAP majority did not wish to put it to the vote, but the DP councillors were able to get the aldermen&#8217;s council to continue to analyse this issue and to explore whether such a service could still take off in Mamer.<\/p>\n\n<p>The DP councillors also obtained a reduction in the age limit for applying for <a href=\"https:\/\/mamer.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FIN_Travaux_Neige_Haies.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mamer.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/FIN_Travaux_Neige_Haies.pdf\">grants<\/a> for elderly fellow citizens. This age limit will be reduced from 75 to 65 years.<\/p>\n\n<p>The DP Gemeng Mamer is committed to creating the conditions to enable our elderly fellow citizens to lead a pleasant and independent life in their own homes for as long as possible. We will be following this issue closely.<\/p>\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/www.dp.lu\/mamer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/01\/Motion-service-de-proximite-20240122.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Motion-service-de-proximite-20240122.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-6d969f6c-f4f5-48d4-8e34-db33441706c2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dp.lu\/mamer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/01\/Motion-service-de-proximite-20240122.pdf\">Motion-service-de-proximite-20240122<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dp.lu\/mamer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/01\/Motion-service-de-proximite-20240122.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download=\"\" aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-6d969f6c-f4f5-48d4-8e34-db33441706c2\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who can clear the snow from in front of my house?
