A neglected and criminal environment

People have tried to break in, attack me, and pelt me with chemicals… the police are fortunately quick to arrive every time, but that still doesn't make the neighbourhood safe. A neighbour's house burned down in August and several homes are already under anti-squat management. Many loitering youths all day long because of the petrol station on the street, and they leave a lot of litter lying around. The area is nicely green and close to the Old Meuse.

Difficult to reach by public transport

I recently started living on my own here in de Kerckhoek. For friends who want to visit without a driver's license, it's not always easy to get here. There are buses to and from Zuidland every half hour or every hour, but from the bus station it's a 15-minute walk to reach de Kerckhoek.

A cosy neighbourhood where everyone is welcome

I've lived here for 11 years. Everyone is kind to me. I am disabled myself but everyone is nice to me and helps where needed. We know almost everyone and are good friends with each other. Safety is quite good, not much happens and the kids are safe on the street. Also in terms of hygiene, I don't have much to complain about, maybe some young people making a mess but that is cleaned up well by the municipality. The housing is fine. The education is good. Lots of nature within a short walking distance. The facilities are good and the accessibility is great.
