Holland Park’s public spaces have been relocated to Dimen municipality

Dimen – Holland Park residential area enters a new phase; The public space for this area was transferred by Bergwijkstadspark BV to Dimen municipality. This practically complements the public space in this region.

Lex Scholten, Alderman for Spatial Development, André Snippe and Simon de Graaf attended the event on behalf of Bergwijkstadspark BV’s management. Transportation means that from now on the municipality will take care of the administration and maintenance. With this relocation, the maintenance and management of, for example, street works, public lighting, sewers, green spaces and artworks are transferred to the municipality.

High standards for the quality of public spaces

In 2016, Dimen City Council approved the Urban Plan and Image Quality Plan for Holland Park. This created a high quality residential area, including public spaces. Project developer Bergwijkpark Stadspark BV designed the public space according to those requirements. The municipality is very satisfied with the completion and delivery of public space. Based on current ideas, the municipality still wants to actively focus on “greening” the neighborhood in the coming period.

Neighborhood greening

Dimen residents have taken all kinds of initiatives in the area of ​​public space. Garbage removal, weeding, redesign and maintenance of neighborhood yards, among other things. On their own initiative and sometimes with the municipality’s stimulation. The municipality also wants to make this happen in Holland Park. Due to the subterranean infrastructure of the area, it is difficult to plant many trees.

However, the municipality is looking for options to make the neighborhood greener and climate-adaptable. For example, later this year construction will start on facade gardens, with residents themselves placing plants in the facade garden and also taking care of maintenance. Front gardens can brighten a neighborhood and give it a greener look. Before the summer holidays, the municipality will actively communicate with residents for this.

A spacious school is also being constructed there, which provides space for around 700 elementary school students, a day care center and a playgroup.

Holland Park South is the final part of the development of this area to be realized at a later stage.
