Westerwolde is working on a fund for village houses and other organizations that suffer from high energy costs

The municipality of Westerwolde will receive a fund to help village houses and other organizations affected by high energy costs.

The city council recently asked the mayor and aldermen to examine the situation in the community center ‘t Ganzenust in Vriescheloo. Their directors had sounded the alarm about the much higher energy costs.

Kuper said on Wednesday evening that it has become clear that other village houses located in municipal buildings also face the same problems and that the fund is therefore being set up to tackle the problem ‘more broadly’.
