Inspiration meeting for Lief & Leedstraten
In Oegstgeest, we believe it’s important to look out for one another. The Lief & Leedstraten initiative is one way to do this. It’s a simple yet effective method to encourage neighborly contact and strengthen social cohesion. Twice a year, the ‘driving forces’ in each street come together. These driving forces manage the pot in their street and promote interaction among residents. On Monday, April 13, 2026, from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM, there’s another opportunity to meet and learn about Lief & Leedstraten. Feel free to drop by to hear about their experiences and receive tips on fostering more connections in your own street.
The evening’s theme is “The Power of the Street.” When you have good contact with your neighbors, dare to ask for and offer help, organize something together, or simply knock on a door, a street becomes more than just a row of houses. It becomes a community. One idea discussed could be enriching the greenery in the street. During this event, Gaby van Breugel from Gabrielle Gardens will share insights and explain how the municipality supports the adoption of tree pits. We’ll also showcase the BuurBox, developed by Radius. This box is available for free to residents and contains useful and fun items for neighborhood parties or street activities.
The meeting will take place in the ground-floor hall of the Haeswijk flat at President Kennedylaan 141.
