Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood used to be a very nice neighbourhood, but an awful lot has changed. Maintenance work is being carried out on the houses at the moment, but unfortunately the neighbourhood is deteriorating more and more. Decline is noticeable in all sorts of ways.

Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbourhood, little crime. The community is good among themselves but there is little that is organised by the neighbourhood. Nice atmosphere and good appearance.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe other side, i.e. the other side of the village that Waddinxveen used to be. Across the bridge... so the other side. No shop, no public transport stop, no park, no school. Now the latter is not necessary in this old little neighbourhood with few young families. There is a playground (association). So a bit of the forgotten side of Waddinxveen.
