Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in Oss in the Ruwaard district for a while now. I like that all kinds of different people live here. I often walk the dog and notice that everyone is very friendly. Sometimes you come across people you don't know or who give you a strange feeling (but you get that everywhere). There was a period when there were a lot of burglaries, fortunately not at our place (dogs). Within a short distance there are enough shops and the city centre is not far either. I would like to see more green spaces in the neighbourhood. They should also do something about the fact that many people just dump their stuff on strips along the road. Sometimes it looks like a rubbish dump and that makes me angry. In Germany they have one day a year when everyone can put their stuff out on the street and they come to collect it (maybe something to think about!). I also think more attention should be paid to less reckless driving in the neighbourhood (both cars, cyclists and scooters).
