My boyfriend and I moved into this neighbourhood at the end of June, into our first home. The first few weeks were all very nice and cosy until August. The owner of Voskamp Textiel intimidated me by contacting my employer because I parked a work van in front of her shop, which is laid out as a public parking space. I then reported this to enforcement and spoke to her personally about her behaviour, telling her they would come. In September there was the neighbourhood BBQ. Again we had a nice time with the neighbours, but that too was short-lived. After asking in the neighbourhood app if people could keep an eye on their cats because our garden was being used as a toilet by neighbourhood cats, I was intimidated by a few households who thought I should move back to the west. This intimidation continued in writing until Christmas Eve. Since then it has fortunately been a bit quieter. Despite having very unpleasant neighbours, we enjoy the surroundings of Voorst and unfortunately also enjoy our home a bit less because it has many hidden defects and costs a lot of money.
