Our 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!
