Auto-translated to English by AIA cosy, rapidly growing neighbourhood in Waddinxveen. De Triangel is spacious and has a lot of greenery. Because it is growing quickly, there is still a lot of construction traffic and unfortunately, when the neighbourhood was built, insufficient consideration was given to the accessibility of the school, resulting in traffic jams in the neighbourhood around school time.
