In an preliminary response, the VVD signifies that it’s disenchanted within the reply. “Residents are more and more telling us: a lot extra is feasible with the Kwakelwei. Sadly, the council, supported by a big a part of the municipal council, chooses this relatively disastrous path. The present course ensures that there might be no metropolis park and the location will stay fallow for a very long time. The municipality doesn’t personal the land and is neither keen nor capable of allocate monetary assets to buy the location. We’d a lot relatively see the municipality enter into discussions with the land proprietor and goal for a big park with a number of properties for financing. A missed alternative!”
