At its meeting today, the City Council approved the amendment to the City of Chemnitz’s Street Cleaning and Street Cleaning Charges By-laws, to come into effect on 1 January 2027.
The regulations will apply for the years 2027 and 2028.
The charges for the City of Chemnitz’s statutory cleaning of pavements and pedestrian zones will rise by 3.7 per cent and 3.8 per cent respectively, depending on the frequency of cleaning (ranging from every two weeks to five times a week).
For road cleaning, the charges will increase by between 5.8 and 8.8 per cent, depending on the frequency of cleaning (the City of Chemnitz’s cleaning obligation ranging from once every four weeks to five times a week).
Winter maintenance on pavements and in pedestrian zones has also been recalculated and will cost residents liable for charges just under 3 per cent more from 2027.
The amended street cleaning by-law also specifies the use of gritting materials for winter maintenance on pavements, the winter maintenance obligations on public pavements and at bus stops, as well as minor amendments to the street register due to new development/use, or changes to the scope of fee-based cleaning or winter maintenance on pavements, including the abolition of the fee obligation and the transfer of cleaning responsibilities to residents due to a lack of traffic significance.
