A group of young people in Etten-Leur has received an area ban of three months. According to Mayor Marina Starmans, the group has been causing a nuisance in the village for a long time and it is time to intervene. “Those who don’t want to listen notes the consequences.”
The young people were involved in various incidents and disruption of public order. The group stood out while driving fatbikes Difficult for other people and scolded passers -by.
The youngsters and their parents have already been visited at home and later the group was approached several times by the police, enforcers and a youth director, yet little changed. In some cases, area bans have already been imposed for a shorter period.
Nevertheless, according to the municipality, there were, among other things, gathering and intimidation. “But now it’s ready,” says Starmans. “The public space in Etten-Leur is for everyone: residents, youth, entrepreneurs and visitors. It is really unacceptable that a small group that is constantly disturbed.”
