It is a good initiative, says Ad Molenaar. De Heerhugowaarder organizes all kinds of events around the fair and for a long time owned Dancing-Partycentrum Marlène on the Middenweg. “I think it is very important that the fair in Heerhugowaard will continue to exist, so if so, I think that’s fine.”
Molenaar was also present at the fairground during that conscious evening last year. “About thirty to forty young people misunderstood. I think these measures will ensure that that does not happen again. I am positively voted. We are just going to make it a nice party again.”
More often hassle at Kermissen in Noord-Holland
The riots at the fair in Heerhugowaard are not on their own. Last year the municipality of Alkmaar took extra measures After a 16-year-old was stabbed at the fair. And it also went wrong in Obdamwhen young people with fireworks threw to café visitors.
Fair operator Frans Stuy already took measures himself On the fairs of Beverwijk, Amsterdam Osdorp and the Amsterdamse Westerpark. There he has used detection gates, gates and security guards to prevent incidents.
Fairground unions already argued at NH last year For a harder approach to ‘Reljongeren’.
