New caravan policy: seeking 20 additional pitches
The municipality of Wijchen aims to ensure all residents have adequate housing. To provide more clarity for the group of caravan dwellers, the municipality has developed a new caravan policy. This outlines how the municipality will ensure that, in the coming years, one or more locations will be designated for a total of 20 additional caravan pitches. The municipal council adopted the new caravan policy on January 29.
