Rust en ruimte

Voldoende ruimte voor rustige woonomgeving, waarbij we te maken hebben met t merendeel slecht geïsoleerde woningen met gehorige bouw. Groter percentage ouderen ook alleenstaanden welke niet door kunnen stromen naar leeftijdsbestendige woningbouw in eigen dorp of gemeente. Omdat t sociale netwerk belangrijk is met een dorp op afstand van stad, is het openbaar vervoer essentieel. De inkomens liggen gemiddeld lager dus de noodzaak voor betaalbaarheid van woning en zorg is essentieel

Quiet, there's nothing in the village.

Our village is quiet and nothing happens because there is very little here.

Usually a fairly quiet neighbourhood

Quiet neighbourhood where people of all ages live. A primary school and a shop. But also (especially in summer) nuisance from youths with a lot of noise and fireworks, while there are many dogs here. And it's not youths from this neighbourhood.

Slumlords, campers and pitbulls. The downfall of a beautiful neighbourhood

It used to be a very quiet, friendly neighbourhood but is rapidly deteriorating. Now there is rubbish everywhere, wrecked scooters, discarded fridges, printers, old garden chairs, etc. A lot of nuisance from "campers" with loose pitbulls. Arson, fights, etc.
