Running for Louny společně

Main topics

We need a better bus station

A station is always the gateway to a town, but the Louny bus station is frozen in the past. It's neglected and looks unsightly. The platforms aren't barrier-free, they lack digital information boards, and there are too many of them, which makes running it more expensive and complicates maintenance. Because the station belongs to a private owner, the town has avoided this issue for decades. And the bus station looks the way it looks. Wretched. We finally want to start dealing with it!

More greenery, less concrete

Greenery is terribly important in towns and we have to be able to take good care of it. Not get rid of it straight away when it starts to be ´inconvenient´. As our programme says: "In new projects and renovations, we want to treat greenery, shade, the use of rainwater and permeable surfaces as a normal part of good design."

We're in this together

Young people leaving Louny is a huge issue and the solution isn't simple. Among other things (affordable housing, jobs, culture), though, it's also about not overlooking young people, giving them a voice and being able to listen.

A few words about me

I'm Hynek Poděbradský ..and I'm not from Poděbrady. I'm 22 and I've lived in Louny since I was little. I commuted to Prague for grammar school, and now I'm doing a part-time university degree in Hradec. Otherwise I like writing, taking photos, travelling, playing the saxophone and I'm learning the piano. I love animals ofc (but I'm scared of spiders) and good films and series.

Louny regularly ends up at the very bottom of the ranking comparing life in Czech towns, and nobody does anything about it. Louny společně — which I'm running for — is the only group in Louny that hasn't led the town yet. The others have already had their chance, now it's time for a change!
