Great

Things could be better, like installing cameras so we can see who dumps rubbish, but we also have an app so I have nothing to complain about; we help each other when we can.

Terrible

Overvecht is dirty, messy, noisy; sometimes it looks like a motorsport field with how they race at night. Rats run across you, it stinks outside, and there are many loitering youths, so safety is not great. Top and hygiene are terrible.

Half is okay and the other half could use some help

I've lived here my whole life and see my neighbourhood deteriorating day by day, such a shame and sad. The area is also really split into multiple parts, unfortunately.
