Cosy Spangen

I've lived in Rotterdam West my whole life. Since 2013 I've been living in Spangen with my children. We really enjoy living here. I have a nice house with a large garden and I have nice neighbours. What I do find a shame is the amount of litter and rubbish and large groups of youngsters on the playgrounds for the children with scooters and fatbikes who also leave all their rubbish behind and 'chase away' the children. There is a lot to do in the neighbourhood for children and the metro/tram station is within walking distance. There should be more greenery and more facilities for older youth. More bins on the street instead of just waste containers.

Cosy Spangen

I've lived my whole life (45 years) in Rotterdam West and wouldn't want to leave. Personally, I've had no negative experiences in the neighbourhood. Of course, the area was worse in my youth, but even then I had a good time. It's better now, but I do notice that a lot is deteriorating again. In terms of litter on the streets and young people looking for trouble. That's a shame, because it's so nice here. There should be more greenery and more neighbourhood watch, and I think more facilities for young people. Because the neighbourhood and playground work hardly does anything anymore, there's too little for young people aged about 12 to 20 to do, and they end up hanging around and doing silly things out of boredom. A kind of community centre or youth club where they can 'hang out' and do things together could provide a solution. For the younger children, there's plenty to do here, but the mess left by the older youth is not nice. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied here.
