Municipal announcement regarding reception at Kloostertuyn 2 site
The municipality has noted that in recent days reports have circulated regarding Xonar’s plans for the Kloostertuyn 2 building.
These reports claim that Xonar intends to accommodate (adult) asylum seekers at this location.
These reports are incorrect. Xonar’s plans concern the housing of Unaccompanied Minor Foreign Nationals with a status. This means these young people have obtained the status to be allowed to reside in the Netherlands. The municipality has also explained this in various discussions with local residents.
In the meantime, the municipal executive board (B&W) of the municipality of Brunssum has decided not to cooperate in granting a permit to house status holders aged 18 and over at the Kloostertuyn 2 building. The municipality expects that this will mean Xonar’s plans for the Kloostertuyn 2 building will not proceed, at least for the time being.
