A few months ago, the province decided that the Blauwpoort site in Waregem may now be developed as an industrial estate. This decision is irreversible, but Groen Waregem wants compensation for this, for example by dewatering old company sites elsewhere in Waregem. Vaneeckhout tries to strengthen this position with his visit.
The party advocates the three-thirty-three hundred rule. “We believe that every resident should be able to see at least three trees from their house or apartment. The thirty represents 30 percent of the area that should be under a canopy. And every resident should be able to see a park or other green areas within a maximum of 300 meters. live,” says Simon Wemel from Groen Waregem.
