De Haan has beach bar removed

But the manageress had still not done so, despite repeated insistence from the municipality. Last week the bar was already sealed, because a lot of things were stolen, especially drinks. The council of aldermen has also decided to terminate the concession, after many complaints from the summer about not respecting the opening hours.

Mayor Wilfried Vandaele: “There were already several complaints about this operation and our patience was running out. Now that the weather is getting worse, and the contents are apparently being looted, we had no choice but to remove the construction ex officio. Naturally, the costs will be recovered from the manageress.”
