How residents experience their district
Everything is okay, I guess, except for all those yobs on fatbikes messing around with fireworks everywhere. They should be dealt with more firmly.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere's quite a lot of litter everywhere, especially at and around the collection points. This causes a lot of vermin and stench now that it's so hot. Something should be done about this, but don't ask me what. Safety could also be a bit better. Especially children and youngsters on fatbikes can come across as intimidating. Especially when they're in large groups. The location and accessibility are very nice. Close to the centre and station. If you walk towards the east or south, you'll soon come across meadows and woods. This is very nice, especially for people with dogs and children. The community and housing are also just good and pleasant.
Auto-translated to English by AIFew clothing shops where I can find everything, little sense of community, renovations in the neighbourhood are good but invest more in shops. Housing is good as is education. More greenery has been added recently, which is a real plus. There are few rubbish bins, which makes throwing rubbish on the street more attractive.

How residents experience their municipality
For me, it's very nice to live in.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's quite quiet to live, nice neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AIA snug rural area, despite being close to the motorway, almost never bothered by the noise. Lots of nature and wildlife around us. And friendly neighbours.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur street was once a beautiful street. But ruined completely by certain people. And you don't get any help. Such a shame. The neighbourhood is also not well maintained by the municipality; nowadays this is only for the better neighbourhoods where people with money live. And the housing association washes its hands of many things. The ordinary person can only get flats anymore. Where has our Hengelo gone, where I always lived so happily! What could be improved is the rubbish situation, that houses are better maintained, overall maintenance of streets, etc. And that there aren't deep trenches next to streets, life-threatening. Even if you call them, they change nothing. Fences around playgrounds, making unsafe streets safe again. And that they don't charge mega rent prices for small old houses and that new houses are also built for social renters. And that the municipality and police really intervene when necessary. But something has to happen first. Sad, all of it! Such a shame!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy neighbourhood is a tidy neighbourhood, nice houses and just very neat. Unfortunately, I do miss contact with neighbours.

Auto-translated to English by AIpretty good, you know
Auto-translated to English by AInormal neighbourhood but very dependent on exactly where you are. the closer to the railway, the worse it gets. waste nuisance around the Aldi is excessive and really needs attention. speeding on the Mozartlaan, Paganinistraat, Oude Postweg, Jozef Haydnlaan is also significant. speeding is too easy and it's unclear what the maximum speed is. small gardens and green strips also need attention. where the streets are swept regularly (plus point), the gardens are maintained once a year. I feel safe enough, although it's not always great, loud foreign voices, groups of men and overdue maintenance on sometimes entire blocks.
