Municipality decides to close property Zwembadweg
In response to a recent serious incident of violence in the vicinity of a residence on Zwembadweg, the mayor has decided, based on Article 174a of the Municipal Law, to close this residence for the period from April 16 to April 30. This temporary closure seeks to prevent further disruption of public order and safety. On Wednesday afternoon, the immediate neighbors were informed of the closure.
Mayor van Bree: We discussed the choice of this drastic remedy in the triangle. Residential foreclosures endanger not only the residents but also other people in and around the home. As a government, we then have an obligation to protect our residents. We weighed the disruption of public order, the impact of the events on the environment of the home and the safety of the residents against the right to stay in the home.
Active monitoring
Supervisors from the municipality and the police will actively monitor the premises during the closure period. At the end of this period, based on the state of affairs, facts and circumstances, it will be considered whether the mayor will make use of an extension of this or any other administrative measure.
