Details of this home
Franselaan, Rotterdam
Satisfactory · 7 residents
Lots of shards of glass lying on the street near a senior flat where many residents depend on a mobility scooter or wheelchair and are housebound if they get a flat tyre from riding over glass. Cars parked double, especially on Franselaan, or even crazier, parked diagonally on the pavement and cycle path to unload at a Polish supermarket. Speaking to the driver doesn't help because they only speak Polish, as it's a van or truck with Polish plates that keep doing this. Loose paving stones, especially on Franselaan; if you ride over them with a mobility scooter, you're terrified. Life-threatening situation in some places on that street, also for elderly people with limited mobility, because the tiles are simply not laid properly. The flat in the senior complex is excellent, certainly for someone with limited mobility who depends on aids.

Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here since 1997 and of course the neighbourhood is going downhill but as long as we feel safe we will stay living here.
Auto-translated to English by AII think there is potential in this neighbourhood, there is a warm community but hygiene and aesthetics are really not nice and it is no longer a neighbourhood to live in. I wish more value was placed on the aesthetics of the houses, streets, environment and surroundings.

Auto-translated to English by AII've lived there since I was 20 and as a girl living in that place is not nice, I've had to call the police more often because men wanted sex and shouted sexual things
