Yesterday the city decided to close De Bengel with 20 shelters after asbestos was found during an inspection. There was no danger to the health of the employees and children.

They can go to after-school care De Kastaar, on Wednesday afternoons in a school nearby. The De Bengel building is outdated and may not reopen.

The city is building three new locations, which will increase the number of shelters from 250 to 340.
