Going to the supermarket on Sunday morning remains impossible in Assen. Nevertheless, there is still hope for an exception for SPAR City

“Let’s join what is already the norm nationally and also in Drenthe,” said D66 party leader Adinda Bornkamp on Thursday evening in a frantic attempt to find allies. In the end, that was only partially successful. Despite support from GroenLinks and 50Plus, her proposal to also offer supermarkets the opportunity to open on Sunday mornings did not make it. A decision on an adjustment of the D66 proposal to only offer ‘grab and go’ shops that option was postponed.
