Moreover, according to the ruling, Kleen Estate did not have the right to use the facilities on the site, including the playground and the sanitary building. to simply break off. Kleen cannot continue with this. According to Judith van de Geijn of the Stichting Belangen Camping De Westeinder, the question now is whether the facilities that have already been removed should be replaced. “We will take a closer look at this in the coming days. For now we are very happy.”
In recent months, the deadline for residents’ departure has been postponed several times, the last time to New Year’s Day. Now they can stay put until compensation for each tenant has been agreed. That can take a long time, says Van de Geijn. “The situation is very different for each tenant, appraisers have to be involved, various costs that may or may not have to be reimbursed. We are not rid of them yet.”
Residents want to buy back the campsite
According to Van de Geijn, the offer to buy back the campsite from Kleen Estate also remains. “That offer was there and still stands. Maybe they will calculate what all those damages will cost and think ‘never mind’.”
No matter how great the relief is now, the uncertainty about what the coming months will look like remains, says Anneke. “I have invested a lot in my home here, I have no idea yet whether I will get it all back. Let alone whether it will be enough to find a place to live in the area. But today we are just super happy that we don’t have to leave yet.”
