Municipality not involved in commercial municipal map
We have received signals that entrepreneurs and organizations in our municipality have been approached to advertise on a ‘municipal map’. This map is an initiative of a commercial company. The impression may arise that the company is collaborating with the municipality on this map. However, we are not involved in this initiative, nor is there any collaboration.
Businesses and organizations are free to decide whether or not to work with the company. However, the map is not being created on behalf of the municipality.
