Such a beautiful neighbourhood and it keeps getting more beautiful, especially with the improvements to the Jutfaseweg.
Auto-translated to English by AIAt the moment the neighbourhood is not very safe. Drugs are traded on the car park, laughing gas is also used, cartridges lie on the car park. Then the rubbish bins... are emptied poorly, everyone dumps bulky waste next to them... So yes, the neighbourhood is going downhill fast! Enforcement is hard to find, as is the police.
