The Week of Drenthe: Yorneo case has started and Schoonebeek wants more money for oil

Theatrical performance Het Pauperparadijs will no longer return to Veenhuizen and Eelde is transforming into a mecca for snakes. Here you can read an overview of the most important news in our province from last week.

The pill and condom are being used by fewer and fewer young people, according to research by STD Aids Netherlands. Dianne Schriemer of GGD Drenthe also sees this trend in Drenthe and is concerned. “Mainly for STD care, but we also don’t know what it does for unintended pregnancies.”

The theater spectacle Het Pauperparadijs departs from Veenhuizen. The performance was performed at the Prison Museum in 2016, 2017 and 2023, but is now moving to Leusden. According to the producer, performing outdoors is too expensive and many local residents complain about noise pollution.

Residents of Schoonebeek, the province and the municipalities of Emmen and Coevorden want more money from the oil revenues from Schoonebeek. “More than three billion is extracted from the ground here. If we are lucky we get 30 to 45 million, you can call that a tip,” says Jenneke Ensing of Stop Afvalwater Schoonebeek.
