Notification of residential and living environment
What is it?
Your residential and living environments consist 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, report it to the municipality.
How does it work?
Examples of things you can report to the municipality:
- loose paving stone
- hole in the road
- broken street lights
- damage to lampposts or traffic signs
- unsafe places
- overdue maintenance of public green spaces, such as weeds
- downed branches, fallen trees
- ruined greenery
- litter
- overflowing waste bins
- 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 to do.
- Make your notification to the municipality.
- Clearly describe what the report is about.
- Indicate the place where something needs to be done.
Make your report or complaint directly
Not reporting to the municipality
- Found animals: call the animal ambulance.
- Nuisance from others, such as neighbors or addicts: call the police.
- Objects or places that do not belong to the municipality: contact the owner
How long does it take?
The municipality usually handles your report within 5 working days. This does not always mean that the situation will then be resolved. Sometimes more time is needed.
