It's a very nice neighbourhood to live in, but there's little to do for young people and also few nice eateries and employment opportunities to bring people together in a good and safe way and offer work and future prospects. In this area we have to deal with a lot of traffic nuisance, think illegal street races/extremely fast driving and people parking antisocially and throwing their rubbish around. It's a shame that this friendly neighbourhood lacks some things to make it a more prosperous area with higher well-being again. So more restaurants, sports clubs, community gardens and fun play and sports equipment could be placed. And for example walking initiatives, a winter market, a King's Day market, a decorated neighbourhood tour for Christmas. Maybe even an extra food court. In terms of traffic, I really hope for more speed bumps and more speed cameras because. In terms of hygiene, they could place more rubbish bins and perhaps clearer places where larger bulky waste is collected once a week to prevent litter.
