Since the merger with Geldermalsen, the municipality of Neerijnen has put its villages and residents up for sale. If you look at, for example, the maintenance of green spaces in the old municipality of Neerijnen, and now in West Betuwe, you can see the difference, where the border stops at the old municipality of Geldermalsen. When you drive into/arrive in Geldermalsen, you see a difference compared to outside the village centre of Geldermalsen. For example, ice control: if you drive on the new back road in Est, it can be as slippery as ice. As soon as you reach the roundabout at Bommelsestraat, no expense or effort has been spared to clear it. The merger has not brought any progress to the residents of the old municipality of Neerijnen. Let alone that this new municipality still has or seeks contact with its residents. The municipality must seek out the citizens more and see how they can be there for the citizen. For example, set up a fixed drop-in hour or a monthly evening meeting to get closer to the citizen.
