And says Wilco Kramer’s party leader of the VVD: the removal can just cost a big bite of money without there being any clear evidence of damage. So far Hoogeveen has already set 20,000 euros for only the construction of the paths.
The municipality cannot yet say what the removal of the asphalt should cost. That is because there is no contractor yet, a spokesperson said.
The municipality previously announced that the granules that have been used are safe for the environment. Should experts in the field of nature have been consulted prior to the work? Yes, Hoogeveen says, but that didn’t happen.
The letter can be read that the plan is to regard the Kinholtsbos as a special area in the future. “This has also been discussed with the IVN. How we will be involved in the further recovery can still be determined.”
The IVN has announced that they are happy with the recovery action and hopes that the damage is not too great due to the nature reserve. The VVD is therefore different and will submit the request to do more research during the council meeting tomorrow night.
