More looking out for each other

The neighbourhood is quiet but I do think there should be more enforcement, especially now that it gets dark quickly, that would give me more peace of mind. What could be better is people looking out for each other more.

Quiet neighbourhood

Quiet. Too little green maintenance, too few parking spaces. Here and there the pavement is very uneven. Something needs to be done about it. Plenty of play facilities for children though. No nightlife.

More shops

I've been living in Poeldijk for six months now, it's super quiet here, very nice, but I do miss some more shops. Having a supermarket or two added would be nice, the Jumbo is so expensive here.
