Impoverishment of the Wold

A lot of nuisance because owner-occupied and social rented homes are mixed in the neighbourhood. High unemployment, low-skilled people, subletting, noise pollution, loud music, shouting, firework nuisance, and drug nuisance from young people driving around in expensive cars at the strangest times, and dealing youngsters on fatbikes. In addition, all roads and pavements in the neighbourhood are rotten or sunken, and many houses look neglected or completely rotten on the outside.

Impoverishment and increase in crime

Increase in unsafety; expensive cars are speeding and revving at the strangest times, causing noise pollution for the living environment. These are mainly young boys with a cultural background who think the whole neighbourhood belongs to them and that they can make quick money this way. Additionally, the roads, paving, and lighting are very poor. And I see an increase in my area of a group of young people who are at risk of sliding into criminality. They drive back and forth in the neighbourhoods on fatbikes that they could not possibly have obtained honestly. Also, a lot of waste and litter in the neighbourhood.

The supermarket - City etc are easily accessible by public transport / car and bicycle.

- Good, involved neighbourhood, everyone knows each other. - The bus runs every half hour to the station. From 0530 to 2359. Which is very convenient for those who want to go to the city or beyond. The station is less than 10 minutes from the Schoener. - Houses are reasonably old, so there is a lot of draught and mice in winter. Mould is also something that remains a big problem.

Nice quiet neighbourhood, only decent friendly people live here, good fun contacts with the neighbours, and they also keep a good eye on strange events in the area.
