In this area, 30 modular homes are also in preparation. In the development of the entire area, 34.1% social rent, 36.4% affordable homeownership, and 29.5% expensive homeownership will be realised. The focus is on target groups such as first-time buyers and seniors. The next step is to finalise the design for the public space and draft the environmental design plan.

Informs the municipal council about the evaluation of the ‘GFT summer collection’
As of 1 January 2025, the weekly GFT (organic waste) summer collection has been discontinued. During the municipal council meeting on 24 June 2025, the motion “summer emptying” was adopted. The motion asks the Board to conduct an evaluation of the GFT summer collection. The evaluation provides insight into the number of collections, costs, received reports, and sustainability effects. Based on the evaluation, a well-founded decision can be made regarding the continuation of the GFT summer collection.
