Shelter for Ukrainians at Raadhuisdijk in Maasbommel has been canceled

This is an old message.

A few weeks ago, the municipality of West Maas en Waal announced that the building at Raadhuisdijk 18 was being prepared to accommodate 30 Ukrainian refugees. This will not go ahead.

Information meeting

On Wednesday, October 11, an information meeting was held at Het Hanzehuys in Maasbommel. The evening was well attended. After a welcome speech by Mayor Vincent van Neerbos, Alderman Marieke van den Boom-Witzel gave a presentation about the plans. Afterward, there was an opportunity to ask questions.

Exploring other possibilities

During the information evening, residents raised objections about, among other things, the suitability of the building and its location. Questions were also raised about traffic safety on Raadhuisdijk.
During the course of the evening, it became apparent that another location is available in Maasbommel. This is a building on Bovendijk. This location is more suitable. It has been decided not to proceed with the building on Raadhuisdijk. We will investigate other possibilities.
