perfect living environment
Auto-translated to English by AINew residents, sneaky, accuse me of a rat infestation, I get the housing association on my back. There is no rat infestation. Harassing, they want to get rid of me, that's clear, but I'm not leaving a house where I've lived since 2003. Those PMD bags are put out at times when they're not collected, that attracts vermin. Everyone is very much to themselves, I don't mind because I am too. Dogs bark, one sits locked in a cage all day, never goes outside, maybe gets walked once every 6 months. Next to me they have guinea pigs outside in a hutch, food scraps everywhere, and then I'm accused of a rat infestation? I don't even have a pet, I regularly have a gardener come because I can't do it myself anymore. Mould in the bathroom, airing doesn't help. Kitchen installed, a complete farce, but a woman can't read drawings *cough* and then they come a year ago asking if I want a different kitchen, I'm not going to sit in the noise and mess for another whole week, and there's nothing wrong with that kitchen.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe've been living here for 15 years with pleasure. Green and quiet. Lots of nature. Good social control, not always in each other's homes, but always helpful. One point of attention: the A256 motorway is causing increasing noise pollution. More and more (freight) traffic, (tourist) route from the Westerscheldetunnel, increasingly heavier cars (battery packs) and outdated joints in the viaduct.
Auto-translated to English by AINeighbours are there for each other. Safe living and lots of green. Unfortunately, no more supermarket in the village. A great loss. But there are two bakeries and a butcher's.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere is a lot of crime, and there are many burglaries and shootings, you have to be able to handle it, it's a multicultural neighbourhood and many children, but mostly dark-skinned children, but I don't mind that, mostly families from Morocco, Syria and Somalia live there, we ourselves live between a family from Somalia and a family from Syria, a lot of noise with the children but nice people. It consists of owner-occupied and rental houses. People live in flats who put household waste next to the underground containers with food scraps and throw food without packaging on the grass and so on, There is a reasonable shopping centre with a baker, a Jumbo, an Aldi, Primera, 2 foreign hairdressers, 1 Dutch hairdresser, 2 Moroccan supermarkets, 1 has a complete butcher's shop, this is a great supermarket, comes here daily. A youth centre, a meeting place for adults, a Domino's, a Zeeman, a bicycle shop, a flower shop, a Bistro which is more often closed than open, and a sandwich shop, a Syrian eatery, a snack bar/fishmonger, that was about it. Safety is insufficient because there are often shootings and burglaries
Auto-translated to English by AIAlways a lot of misery including shootings, stabbing incidents, just not a nice place to live. And there is also a lot of neighbour noise and the neighbourhood looks like a slum because rubbish is thrown around the underground bins, such as household waste and bulky waste like furniture, while they want to improve the neighbourhood but do nothing about it.
