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

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

De drie inrichtingsprincipes en de vier prioriteiten in beeld

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. Do you live or do you have friends that live at Haarweg 333 - Earth House? Let them know ASAP that they have been invited by e-mail for an information evening tomorrow, 4th of December, at Plus Ultra from 16:30-18:00. Tomorrow is the last opportunity to inform yourself on the plans directly outside of your window, before the city council casts their votes.

Today is another political evening! This evening Mark Reijerman will present and discuss student registration at the municipality with other political parties. Curious to hear about why we think it’s important, our ideas and what other parties think about the topic? Come to the city hall at 19:30 – the meetings are public! See you there!
