Burgemeester Freijterslaan 90

Never had any problems, school is nearby and they drive calmly

Our neighbourhood has been a bit abandoned by the municipality. Together with the neighbourhood, we often send messages to the municipality (via the BuitenBeter app) about decay, litter, illegal dumping, poor maintenance of the neighbourhood/living environment, poor maintenance of green spaces, and unsafe conditions around the playground. Illegal parking during busy times at the playground, blocking emergency services. Next to the playground is a street where cars coming to the playground can easily park. Heavy traffic (supply trucks) through our narrow street. We sometimes hold our breath here with all those happy running children heading to the playground. Behind our street is a dead-end street where we (residents) come out. This 'back street' is often 'forgotten' when it comes to sweeping, weeding, and pruning. We always have to complain to the municipality about this. It would be nice if this were just included in green/street maintenance. Rats run through people's gardens here. In our little stretch of street with 4 houses, it's really deteriorating. On one corner live labour migrants (every 3 months new people move in). The garden is overgrown, a dirty awning always hangs down, pieces of plastic in front of the windows. The owner of the house doesn't care about anything. For years, every 3 months, I've put energy into the occupants of that property. It makes me despondent. The municipality only enforces on the number of occupants and fire safety. On the other side, a private individual had the garages demolished. Now there's a fence in front, but it's easy to climb over. Rubbish bags are emptied and the area is overgrown. Adjacent buildings are constantly being partially demolished and then left like that. No one knows what will happen to this piece. The municipality doesn't respond. We've lived here for 42 years. Lived very nicely. Our children went to school here, to the playground, played outside in the 'back alley'. But it's increasingly decaying and deteriorating. Unfortunately. We like living in this part of Roosendaal. The municipality promises that the street will be renewed (sewers, road surface, etc.) but we see little of it. St. Elizabeth has been greatly expanded with maybe 100 residents. Construction traffic destroyed everything. The sewer system wasn't adapted, and residents have to use the road with their walkers and wheelchairs. Pavements are broken, too narrow, or full of cars. For example, during playground season or residents from other streets who don't want to park their cars in front of their own doors due to parking costs. We have a cosy neighbourhood. We look out for each other, help each other, have a good time together.
