The shelter for Ukrainians at Raadhuisdijk in Maasbommel canceled

This is an old post.

A few weeks ago, the Municipality of West Maas en Waal announced that the property at Raadhuisdijk 18 was being prepared for the reception of 30 Ukrainian refugees. This will not proceed.

Information Session

On Wednesday, October 11, an informational meeting was held at Het Hanzehuys in Maasbommel. The event was well attended. Following a welcome address by Mayor Vincent van Neerbos, Alderman van den Boom – Witzel gave a presentation on the plans. Afterward, there was an opportunity to ask questions.

Exploring other options

During the information evening, residents raised concerns about, among other things, the suitability of the building and its location. However, questions were also raised about traffic safety on Raadhuisdijk.
As the evening progressed, it became clear that Maasbommel 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 explore other options.
