Secure services and meeting places in rural areas
The BSW wants to achieve equal living conditions in town and country. To that end, all rural school sites should stay, medical care should be secured close to home, and social facilities should be newly built rather than closed.
The BSW wants life in the countryside to be as good as in the city. All rural schools should stay. Doctors should be nearby. There should be new meeting places, pools and sports centers. There should also be culture in the countryside.
For health care, the party wants to fund medical care centers and combined outpatient-inpatient centers at small hospitals and to deploy community nurses and village caretakers. Village community halls, children's and youth clubs, and family and community centers should receive long-term funding. A low-bureaucracy funding program should also repair smaller county and municipal roads. Cultural offerings should not take place only in urban centers. In tourism, the BSW wants to retain skilled workers through fair pay and practical training and to support segments such as nature, water, cycling and hiking tourism.
