As a committed resident of Helmond, I see Stepekolk (Brandevoort) as a neighbourhood with potential, but also with clear points for attention. The neighbourhood has strong points: there is a sense of togetherness among residents, the location is favourable relative to amenities and nature, and there are nice grassroots initiatives. At the same time, there are also concerns. The public space is not always well maintained; litter, green management and traffic safety could be better. Some parts of the neighbourhood therefore feel more unsafe than necessary. What stands out is that young people sometimes have little to do, which can lead to nuisance or boredom. More low-threshold meeting places, sports and cultural activities would benefit the neighbourhood. There should also be more attention to social connection: how do we ensure that neighbours get to know each other and feel jointly responsible for their neighbourhood? The housing stock in Stepekolk is mixed. Moreover, residents are concerned about the affordability of housing and energy costs. Here lie opportunities for the municipality and housing associations to invest together with residents in a future-oriented way. Finally: Stepekolk (Brandevoort) is a neighbourhood with a heart. People live there with stories, with resilience and with love for their street. If the municipality and authorities truly listen and let residents think along and participate, Stepekolk can be/become an example neighbourhood of how social strength and physical liveability go hand in hand.
