Quiet neighbourhood. There is no supermarket and only a very small primary school. The nearest secondary school is 6.5 km away. A bus runs every half hour to the station.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet neighbourhood, there are few teenagers but the number of babies is rising. The municipality doesn't invest enough in proper decent opportunities for recreation or sports. Everything is done half-heartedly. The roads are good and it's easily accessible from the motorway. There is no primary or secondary school, the nearest primary school is 1km away and the secondary school 6km. There is a swimming pool but it's old and there were plans to demolish it, besides that there is a nice football field. I would like to see a nice playground and skate park, something that is really good. A completely new design and not just a new piece of equipment.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe housing stock is mainly post-war — 76% was built between 1945 and 1990.
