It's a cosy neighbourhood, always a friendly chat with the neighbours

We get along fine with everyone on the street, because we are always there for everyone, but there are many differences. We live on a busy through street, where children also play outside, but children and adults also race along the pavement on electric scooters or fatbikes and where people often drive too fast. The insulation also varies per rental property on our street, and nothing is done about it. There is also not really anything fun for children to play with, and for teenagers there is certainly nothing in the neighbourhood, which leads to mischief. Bulky waste items are also regularly put outside, in the hope that someone will take them, because nowadays you have to pay 20 euros to have bulky waste collected. Birds are also fed all year round with all sorts of things, which only attracts seagulls and this regularly almost causes accidents. Rats are also attracted. Yet I do enjoy living here, only I would appreciate it if something were done about our homes, because due to the severe draught in the house, we have to wear warm clothes to make it bearable, because it is unaffordable to heat it properly, and more unexpected speed checks or lowering the speed limit to a maximum of 30 km per hour. It would also be nice if all residents on the street no longer threw food outside, but simply put it in the green bin.

I get along fine with everyone in the neighbourhood, but the neighbourhood is becoming shabby and people still drive very fast both on the road and on the pavement. There is more and more rubbish on the street and in the bushes. Many elderly people live here, but there is no bus connection. The housing association also does less and less to the houses. It's draughty in the house and it's cold indoors.
