Assembly ban in Uden city centre and Liberation Park
From 25 March 2026, an assembly ban will be in effect in the city centre of Uden and Liberation Park. The ban applies 24 hours a day and will initially last until 25 May 2026.
The assembly ban means that groups of three or more young people (up to and including 25 years of age) who behave in a disruptive, intimidating or annoying manner may not gather in the designated area. The police can order them to leave. Violations are punishable by law.
The measure is necessary due to serious and persistent nuisance caused by groups of young people in and around the city centre. This includes intimidation of passers-by and business owners, noise pollution, rowdiness and vandalism. This causes unrest and feelings of insecurity among residents and business owners. With the ban, the municipality aims to prevent further disruption of public order.
