Pieter’s company is located in Esen, Diksmuide. Last night he and many farmers took action at the municipal council. And with results because the municipality gives negative advice.
Mayor of Diksmuide Lies Laridon: “Ultimately it turns out that the ultimate goal of the Nature and Forest Agency is a nature reserve. We think that is really too far-reaching. We also want to create a bicycle highway here and ANB is already making a lot of fuss about public lighting.”
Diksmuide asks for consultation with everyone and communication must also be improved, it sounds.
“You can submit an objection until February 29, but we only knew about it yesterday. So we have three days. So we have to take action now. I immediately looked it up on the Natuur en Bos website and found the link you couldn’t open it,” says farmer Pieter Van Haecke.
