Daily life on Leeuwerikstraat

Your morning bread run is easy: Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. For school runs, IKC Maria Louise is on your doorstep, and Basisschool Sint Thomas is a couple of streets away. A park or garden is a five-minute walk, and there's a restaurant just around the corner. The municipality Leeuwarden offers plenty more, but these essentials are all close by.

Child-friendly during the day, unsafe for everyone in the evening.

A few years ago, the neighbourhood was a pleasant and safe environment. Now rubbish bags are thrown next to the containers, causing a lot of nuisance from seagulls. There are also loitering youths who cause a lot of trouble in the area. The playground becomes a hangout in the evening and is left dirty, no longer child-friendly for children to play in the next day. Fires are also set near the apartment buildings, and shouting etc. is left behind, but there is no evidence of anything further.
