The municipality wants to purchase the Jasmin Group's properties

On June 14, 2024, the executive board of the municipality of West Maas en Waal decided to purchase Raadhuisdijk 18 in Maasbommel and Wilhelminastraat 9 in Wamel, and to buy out part of the lease agreement. Discussions with the Jasmin Group have now commenced.

An additional roundtable discussion on this topic will take place at the municipal council meeting on June 18. The municipal council the final decision on June 27.

Considerations

The council’s decision was based on factors such as spatial integration, public support, traffic safety, social cohesion, feasibility, and financial viability.

At the same time, the municipality remains committed to helping provide shelter for Ukrainian refugees and unaccompanied minor foreign nationals.

Alderman den Boom-Witzel: “As a municipality, we have a responsibility to provide shelter for refugees and displaced persons. However, upon closer inspection, Raadhuisdijk 18 and Wilhelminastraat 9 turned out to be less suitable. This summer, we will explore other ways to make good use of these properties. The alternatives developed with the sounding board group provide a solid foundation for this.”

In consultation with the Jasmin Group

The municipality is in discussions with the Jasmin Group regarding the decision to purchase the properties and buy out the lease agreement. Alderman den Boom-Witzel is optimistic that an agreement can be reached: “We have therefore put the preparations for the preliminary injunction on the back burner. This does not apply to the appeal. We will only withdraw that once an agreement has been reached with the Jasmin Group.”
