Reporting on the living environment
What is it?
Your living environment consists of places that everyone has access to. Think of squares, roads, parks, playgrounds, or sports fields. It is important that these places are safe and tidy.
If you see something that is broken or needs to be cleaned up, please report it to the municipality.
How does it work?
Examples of issues you can report to the municipality:
- loose paving stone
- pothole
- broken street lighting
- damage to lampposts or traffic signs
- unsafe areas
- overdue maintenance of public green spaces, such as weeds
- blown-off branches, uprooted trees
- destroyed greenery
- litter
- overflowing trash cans
- dead animals along the road or in the water
- odor nuisance
- abandoned bicycles or cars
- unsafe traffic situation
- construction and maintenance of playgrounds
- broken or unsafe playground equipment
What should I do?
- Report it to the municipality.
- Clearly describe what the report is about.
- Indicate where action needs to be taken.
Submit your report or complaint immediately
Do not report to the municipality
- Found animals: call the animal ambulance.
- Nuisance caused by others, such as neighbors or addicts: call the police.
- Objects or places that do not belong to the municipality: contact the owner.
How long will it take?
The municipality will usually process your report within five working days. This does not always mean that the situation will be resolved by then. Sometimes more time is needed.
