Rolduckerveld: a neighbourhood in decline
Rolduckerveld is a densely built area with a mix of ages and many single-person households. One resident describes it bluntly: "The neighbourhood is deteriorating rapidly. Household waste is dumped. Children who are not admitted to any school hang around all day. Parents who swear at their children using foul language, polluted alleyways. Vermin. Cats left behind after moves. Music with bass turned up extremely loud. No respect for fellow residents or small children." The same resident also notes positives: "Glad that the children receive good education at a broad school that has everything. Also very happy that we can walk into nature like this." This single review paints a picture of a neighbourhood with serious social issues but also some redeeming features. For more context, see the Rolduckerveld neighbourhood.
