Klarenbeek and Surrounding Area Wellness Programme

A meeting place and activities for young people aged 12–18

We’re going to work together to support young people aged 12–18:

• The youth centre in the MFC is being expanded. A pump track is also being built. And a sports park manager is taking up the post.
• The Klarenbeek Youth Club and youth workers are to work together to organise activities.
• There’s going to be a cola disco at Café Gewoon Neut. The plan is to organise these more often.
• We are looking into the possibility of setting up a youth panel. This panel could play an active role in developing suitable services for young people.
• We want to launch an exercise programme for people of all ages.

Activities to promote a healthy and fulfilling life for older people

Together, we’re working to ensure that you can enjoy your later years in Klarenbeek:

• We’ll be continuing with our existing activities, such as the group lunch, the drop-in session at the MFC and the cycling workshops.
• We’re looking to see if a small group of enthusiastic older people would be willing to help come up with ideas for new activities.
• Students are organising a trial outing for young and old. If it proves successful, it will become a regular event.
• The Klarenbeek Youth Club and youth workers organise activities where young and old can meet and help one another.

Easy access to activities

We make it as easy as possible to take part in activities:

• Residents are provided with clear information about transport to activities. For example, from PlusOV and ZorgSaam.
• The village liaison officer and the Facebook account will remain in place.
• The village council is working with De Klarenbeker to find ways of effectively sharing information about activities.
• We are looking at ways to make the MFC more accessible to wheelchair users.

Good care for everyone

Together, we’ll look at how everyone can receive appropriate care:

• We are holding an information evening on ‘neighbourhood support groups’. These are small groups of 10–15 households that help one another. We are also actively inviting residents of Wolthuis to attend.
• We’re working with GPs to see how we can make information about care and support clearer. In other words: in plain language. And: not just online, but on paper as well.

First aid nearby

We regularly organise first aid and AED (for CPR) training sessions. This ensures there are always trained volunteers on hand in the event of an emergency. The village council and De Klarenbeker publish the locations of the AEDs in their newsletters.

Keeping volunteering on the right track

We make a point of thanking and showing our appreciation to volunteers for their work. We also ensure that the Volunteers’ Get-together continues to take place. This helps us to support one another. And we encourage people to become volunteers.

A warm welcome to new residents

The village council welcomes new residents. The village council also organises social evenings where residents can get to know one another.

Keep the railway station

We regularly inform the provincial authorities of how important the station is to Klarenbeek.

Making good use of the neighbourhood bus and shared taxi

We are raising residents’ awareness of the neighbourhood bus and RRReis’s stop-and-go taxi service. And we are discussing whether the connection between the neighbourhood bus and the train could be improved.

Village council, municipality(ies)

A sense of security

The special constables and the neighbourhood police officer are regularly seen in the neighbourhood. Whenever possible, they also attend residents’ meetings. And, where necessary, they keep residents informed through channels such as newsletters.

Homes to suit all ages

Young people and older residents would like to continue living in the village. This requires different types of housing. We are organising an information evening on the division of houses and land, and on collaborative building (collective private commissioning, CPO).

Facilities in good order

It is important that there remain sufficient local amenities, even as Klarenbeek grows. The municipalities of Apeldoorn and Voorst regularly consult with one another regarding new-build developments and local amenities. We will keep residents informed of these developments. We are also taking into account the impact of the Zuidrand project on local amenities.

Preserving the village’s character

Whilst drawing up plans for the Zuidrand project, we discussed with local residents how Klarenbeek can remain an independent village with green surroundings.

Useful information on sustainability

We help residents to live more sustainably:

• The Klarenbeeks Belang and De Klarenbeker newsletter shares tips on making your home more sustainable.
• There will be an information evening on sustainable housing and living.
• We’re holding street interviews to find out what residents need as they make the switch to sustainable energy. We’re paying particular attention to people whose voices are not often heard.

Large events will still be possible

We’re looking at which venues are suitable for large village events.

Sports or fitness within cycling distance

A number of organisers are looking into the possibility of setting up a fitness area in Klarenbeek.

Room for farmers’ ideas and input

Together with local farmers, we are drawing up a plan for the maintenance and use of the countryside. They play an important role in preserving Klarenbeek’s green and rural character.

Residents of Wolthuis feel their voices are being heard

We’re going to talk to the residents of Wolthuis. We’ll find out what their questions and wishes are. And we’ll look at how we can improve communication between Wolthuis and the local council.

Safe cycle routes

We will complete the cycle path along Elsbosweg as soon as possible. We are also looking into ways of making the cycle path between Klarenbeek and Twello safer in the dark.

Safe roads in Klarenbeek

We are taking the following steps to make the roads safer:

• A speed bump is to be installed at the T-junction of Hessen Allee and De Oude Molen to reduce speed. Residents would also like the ‘built-up area’ sign to be moved.
• We are looking into whether pedestrian crossings could be installed on the Hoofdweg near the supermarket, on Broekstraat and on Korenbloem. We are also considering whether speed displays are needed.
• If new buildings are to be constructed at the Korenbloem, we will carefully consider how residents can leave the neighbourhood safely. We would prefer the route not to go via the Korenbloem, as it is more difficult to join or cross the main road there.
• We are investigating whether the junction of Woudweg and Klarenbeekseweg can be made safer.
• Kanaal Zuid is to become a 60km road. We’ll look straight away at how the Kanaal Zuid/Woudweg junction can be made safer.
• We regularly trim the vegetation at the bend where Brinkenweg meets Elsbosweg, to improve visibility.

Staying safe on the roads

We are looking at ways to make people more aware of their own behaviour on the roads. And we are drawing primary schools’ attention to the province’s teaching packs on this subject.

Less red tape for volunteers in clubs and associations

We’re trying to make it easier to organise activities. And also to run clubs:

• We look at the challenges volunteers face when organising activities. Together, we explore whether there might be an easier way to do this.
• The local council will contact the organisers of recurring events in good time. This ensures that any queries are resolved more quickly.

Clubs, village council, local authority

More economic activity and tourism

We’re looking into the possibility of setting up a weekly mini-market. This would be good for community spirit and for local businesses. We also want to organise a meeting for everyone involved in tourism and leisure. That way, we can work together to see how we can make Klarenbeek an even more enjoyable place for visitors.

Woudhuis Nature Reserve to be more easily recognisable

Signs will be put up at the Woudhuizen car park. The car park will also be linked to the route network. This will ensure that visitors park there – and not in the nature reserve.

Activities to promote a healthy and fulfilling life for older people

Construction is underway on the Hart van Klarenbeek residential care facility. Once it is complete, it will host activities for residents and local villagers. We are working in partnership with organisations such as the primary school to bring young and old together.

Home care nearby

Once Hart van Klarenbeek is ready, we will look into whether home care services can be provided from the building to the whole of Klarenbeek.
