People who live permanently, and therefore illegally, at Park Prinsenmeer in Ommel near Asten, are allowed to stay eight months longer. They must have left before September 16th. The municipality will let you know. The park has been closed to holidaymakers since December.
Park Prinsenmeer of the Oostappen Group had to close after a Bibob investigation showed that there is a high risk that owner Peter Gillis will use his park for criminal activities.
Decision in March
Holidaymakers had to leave immediately in December, and new holidaymakers were no longer welcome in the park from that moment on. Previously there was talk that the permanent residents would have to leave in January.
This group has now been granted a postponement. In a press release, the municipality confirms once again that they are living illegally in the park, but the municipality wants to give them until mid-September to leave. A final decision on this will be made in March.
Laconic
There is still no mention of the closure on the park’s website. Omroep Brabant managed to reserve and pay for a place twice. We have not yet received any message that the holiday cannot go ahead, and the money already paid has not yet been refunded.
The question is how many people have already paid for a holiday. Gillis responded rather laconically to the turn of events. “The lawyers are working on it,” he said.
Other places
There is also a lot going on in other places around the Gillis parks. The municipalities of Valkenswaard, Terneuzen, Maasgouw and Peel en Maas have also had a Bibob study carried out or are planning to do so soon. There is therefore a good chance that these parks will also have to close their doors.
