Holiday park Nolderwoud near Zuidwolde is being overhauled and has to flourish again for tourism. Nine homeowners on the north side of the park see nothing in that plan and a part wants to continue to live there permanently. They therefore go to the Council of State.
The goal? See if their part of the park can be split off, so that they are no longer part of Nolderwoud and the renovation plans. “And that the enforcement of the municipality of De Wolden is stopping permanent residence here,” explains resident Arnoud Gengler.
Because the latter happens at the moment, the residents say. And they are worried about that. “It causes stress,” says Gert de Jong, who has been lived there for eighteen years. “Just look for something else in this time, that is impossible to do.”
According to Gengler, who speaks on behalf of the residents, some neighbors receive ‘enormous penalty payments’ from the municipality. “Not myself, because I don’t live there permanently. But some of them can’t go anywhere else, what do they do?”
