Heel onrustige buurt met veel overlast

Heel veel drugsgebruikers in deze wijk met veel overlast van vervelende hangjongeren. Handhaving doet te weinig om wijk beter te maken. Wijk is een bouwput weinig groen, scholen doen maar wat. In de wijk vind je her en daar wietzakjes, hondenpoep op stoepen, hele vieze huizen vanaf buitenkant te zien, scholen staan niet open voor verbeteringen of suggesties. Voorzieningen is weinig keus en veel leegstand, ov rijdt maar twee keer per uur in de wijk, momenteel vrijwel onmogelijk om naar dordrecht te gaan

It feels just like a village

I live here fine, I never have any problems. Only I think everything is poorly paved and way too many weeds between the tiles.
