How residents experience their municipality
Voldoende ruimte voor rustige woonomgeving, waarbij we te maken hebben met t merendeel slecht geïsoleerde woningen met gehorige bouw. Groter percentage ouderen ook alleenstaanden welke niet door kunnen stromen naar leeftijdsbestendige woningbouw in eigen dorp of gemeente. Omdat t sociale netwerk belangrijk is met een dorp op afstand van stad, is het openbaar vervoer essentieel. De inkomens liggen gemiddeld lager dus de noodzaak voor betaalbaarheid van woning en zorg is essentieel

Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet neighbourhood where people of all ages live. A primary school and a shop. But also (especially in summer) nuisance from youths with a lot of noise and fireworks, while there are many dogs here. And it's not youths from this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here for 26 years with great enjoyment.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt used to be a very quiet, friendly neighbourhood but is rapidly deteriorating. Now there is rubbish everywhere, wrecked scooters, discarded fridges, printers, old garden chairs, etc. A lot of nuisance from "campers" with loose pitbulls. Arson, fights, etc.
