How residents experience their municipality
Being bullied and ignored. Falsely accusing us. Being gossiped about. Being called lesbian. Things being stolen from our garden. Not happy in current living situation.
Auto-translated to English by AIChild-friendly. Quiet. Safe
Auto-translated to English by AIOriginally from the southern part of North Holland. People here, unlike my place of origin, are friendly, greet each other, honest, straightforward and approachable as long as you take the initiative yourself. If you open yourself up, you will certainly find a place in the community. The area is characterised by dreamy landscapes formed by meadows (often separated by banks and/or rows of trees and shrubs, and forest and bodies of water.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 20 years, my children grew up here, and I have a nice spot and nice neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AII personally think it's a fantastic neighbourhood, everything is nice and close by and looks tidy. Everything you need is in the area, plus there are many playgrounds, sports clubs and eateries. I think Zuidhorn is a nice neighbourhood, it's generally very quiet and people get along well with each other.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood with shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIPleasant place with spacious residential plots where most residents greet each other on the street and/or have a chat. People feel socially connected to each other. The village once had a beautiful, recently renovated primary school. The fact that it closed in 2020 is still a great loss and has had a very detrimental effect on the mutual cohesion among the village's residents. The Ukrainian shelter that has been housed in the former school building since March 2022 has meant that native residents have mainly encountered unfamiliar people on the street since the opening of these shelter locations. Very occasionally you recognise someone from the shelter, but Ukrainians keep disappearing / new Ukrainians keep arriving. There are also regular escalations (violence) in and around the Ukrainian shelter location. This has a negative effect on the sense of safety and togetherness within the village.
