A bit more depth about 5% rule (following our last post)

Particuliere studentenhuizen in reguliere woningen of flats moeten snel hun vergunning op orde krijgen. Anders lopen de bewoners het risico dat ze hun huis uit moeten. Dat blijkt uit het nieuwe Wageningse kamerbeleid. Volgens de nieuwe regels voor kamerverhuur mag per straat nog maar 5 procent (1 op de 20) van de woningen een studentenhuis zijn. De lokale politieke partij voor onder meer studenten Connect is tegen de strenge 5-procentregel. 'Alsof studenten elke week barbecueën en drie keer in de week om drie uur 's nachts thuiskomen.' Alle andere partijen in raad vinden dat met het oog op de leefbaarheid 1 op 20 huizen een mooie balans oplevert http://bit.ly/2JjY0PP

Stress Stories Finally, studies finished and now looking for a job. But how do I filter between all those vacancies? I actually like a lot of things. One thing I know for sure, I want to keep living here. During my internship I experienced how hard it was to travel 2 hours every day, and I don’t want to do that again. After a lot of searching I might have found something, but no after a good interview, still rejected. Pffff I really can’t do this, maybe I should just give up. No, I’m not a quitter, I just have to get back up and continue. Again, lots of stress, I might get good at this #Wageningen #WURLIFE #stresstories #wageningenuniversity #stressmanagement by anonymous

A nice article in De Gelderlander (newspaper) from our city council colleague Marisabel Pardo about integrating in Wageningen. An important subject in which we continue to put our best efforts. https://www.gelderlander.nl/wageningen/met-iedereen-een-praatje-ik-vind-dat-normaal~aa9142a6/

Met iedereen een praatje, ik vind dat normaal

WAGENINGEN - Marisabel Pardo groeide op in Bolivia en kwam in het jaar 2002 naar Nederland. Sinds mei vorig jaar zit ze namens Groen Links in de gemeenteraad van Wageningen. ,,Mijn dochter vind dat ik de koningin lijk die iedereen begroet.’’

As a municipality, we must draw up an environmental plan. A long-term plan for the entire physical environment. We would like to involve residents in this process. A proposal is to do that via co-creation. But what exactly is co-creation? Is this the right strategy? And in which phases is it most important to involve residents? All questions that led to a lively discussion last night during the political evening. The video below shows the relation to the national plans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlP05ahPsJ8

A solar farm at the Haarweg! The city council will decide on the 10th of December whether the plans are accepted and get a green light. An interesting political issue regarding the climate goals, the nature surrounding Wageningen and the impact on the environment of the neighbors.
