Municipal environmental tasks to be transferred to the Environmental Service North and Central Limburg
From 1 April 2026, the municipal environmental tasks (permit issuance, supervision and enforcement) within the municipality of Roermond will be carried out by the Environmental Service North and Central Limburg (ODNML). The ODNML is an organisation specifically established for the 15 North and Central Limburg municipalities to work towards a healthy, safe and sustainable living environment.
What exactly will the ODNML do?
The ODNML ensures that businesses and residents in the region take their living environment into account and keep it healthy, safe and sustainable. The ODNML does this by issuing permits and monitoring compliance with agreements made. They aim to do this in a constructive manner, seeking connections with residents and entrepreneurs.
In addition to the above tasks, the ODNML also provides advice. This includes advice on asbestos, wastewater, odour and noise. By cooperating on these issues, municipalities can continue to perform these tasks effectively.
What changes for me as a resident/entrepreneur?
The collaboration between our municipality of Roermond and the ODNML ensures that we can continue to perform our environmental tasks in a high-quality and future-oriented manner. You can currently still find all information about municipal environmental tasks on the municipality’s website. At a later stage, this information will be transferred to the ODNML’s website.
