Busy around schools

The youngsters park their bikes at the GGZ even though it's not allowed, there's a sign. But the guidance has often talked about it with the school.

Friendly neighbourhood with a safe atmosphere

I have never felt unsafe in this neighbourhood, not even late at night on the street. I also notice that everyone is always friendly and helpful. What could be improved is more cardboard bins around the neighbourhood to dispose of cardboard, and a chemist's would also be very nice.
