Invitation: Open House Meeting Leidschendammerhout
The Leidschendammerhout area will undergo changes in the coming years. Several locations in this area are being considered for future drinking water extraction. Additionally, nature and recreational opportunities will be enhanced. Therefore, the municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg and Dunea cordially invite you to an open house meeting on April 13.
The open house meeting will take place on Monday, April 13, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. Location: Town Hall at Raadhuisplein 1 in Leidschendam. During this meeting, we will inform you about the plans and engage in discussion with you.
Drinking Water for the Future
Due to climate change and population growth, the demand for drinking water is increasing, while existing sources are becoming more vulnerable due to drought and pollution. To ensure a continued supply of high-quality drinking water in the future, Dunea is, among other initiatives, working on a new intake point and a pre-treatment facility in the Leidschendammerhout.
Enhancing Nature and Recreation
The nature and recreational opportunities in the Leidschendammerhout will also be enhanced. The details of this area-wide initiative will be outlined in an area vision that will be developed. The municipality would like to explore, together with you, how this area can develop—with consideration for visitors and nature, as well as for residents and property owners. What opportunities do you see, and what conditions do you consider important?
