Auto-translated to English by AIAt number 2 lives an older woman who doesn't want anything to do with anyone. At number 4 live a man and a woman who do talk to other neighbours. At number 6 live an ageing couple who want to help everyone but don't always get the chance. At number 8 lives the youngest resident of the street. That's going well. I live at number 10 and am happy to help the others if needed. At number 12 live the ageing man and woman who don't get along with everyone, same as at number 6. They don't interact well with everyone. At number 14 live a man and woman whose children have already left home. They live there nicely. And at number 16 lives a whole family who just moved in. That's going well.
Auto-translated to English by AIWhat a shame and I want to bring to light once again is the removal of allotment gardens... which were in nobody's way because everything was already made of stone, it was so nice, so beautiful, we planted strawberries with our grandchildren but unfortunately the municipality decided to get rid of them..... we do have a very beautiful forest 100 steps from our front door, Vlakwaterbos.... gorgeous... but the green in the neighbourhoods is disappearing, that's a shame.... but if it's used as a dog walking field then this is a missed opportunity... for a nice piece of green
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood. Where you get to know many people. Close to primary and secondary education, swimming pool, centre and sports fields. You are also quickly on the connecting roads to Venlo, Nijmegen, Eindhoven and not far from the German border. The shopping options are fine. It is a tidy neighbourhood!
Auto-translated to English by AILiving at the edge of the forest... that's very nice... only the community garden in front of our house is a big mess, no one maintains it... there are rats, the council does nothing. The flats dump their plastic and waste much too early, throw it off the balcony straight down... pests love it
