Sprenkelaar Vitality Programme

Waste problems

There have been many complaints about litter around the high-rise blocks and rubbish being left next to the bins. A working group has been set up, which also includes residents. We are joining the working group that is already active and will support it.

Loneliness

Local professionals say there is a great deal of loneliness in Sprenkelaar. The residents’ survey does not provide a clear picture of this. We intend to investigate this issue further.

Together

Language teaching

There is a significant language deficit, so it is very important to pay extra attention to this – for both adults and children.

Municipality

Local primary schools

The local schools would like to have a healthy mix of children from different backgrounds. We are going to look into how we can help with this.

Children and young people

To investigate what types of youth work and facilities for young people are needed in this area. We will draw up a comprehensive action plan for this target group covering safety, activities, facilities and training.

Municipality

Social opportunities and social problems

We are developing a comprehensive approach to tackle problems that often build up. These include poverty (debt, income poverty, energy poverty), parenting, daytime activities and finding meaning in life. Given the wide variety of cultures, the following are important: bringing people together, digital skills, helping people find their way in the Netherlands, specific activities for men and women, and language support. Ideally, these should be as local as possible and easily accessible. Collaboration with the residents’ organisation Sadika presents an opportunity in this regard.

Health and exercise

We want to reduce health-care avoidance and ensure that people understand the importance of good health. We are doing this in collaboration with GPs, amongst others. The Prevention Agreement can help in drawing up plans to achieve this. We encourage physical activity in an accessible way. An inviting outdoor space and suitable activities help to achieve this. Opportunities for this lie in improving outdoor spaces.

Work and daytime activities

The planned outdoor projects offer opportunities for work and daytime activities. We are looking into which projects we can combine, and how we can involve residents in their own neighbourhood.

Safety

Residents feel less safe than average. Road safety: people drive too fast. Further investigation seems warranted; any road improvements could perhaps be combined with the measures being taken on Anklaarseweg. Nuisance caused by young people is frequently mentioned, alongside drug-related crime and subversion. Further investigation in collaboration with partners such as the neighbourhood police officer and the neighbourhood enforcement officer.

Sustainability

Many residents say they consider this important but have not yet taken any action. This is partly due to a lack of knowledge about, for example, grants and financial options for making their homes more sustainable. It is important to involve residents in these developments.

Municipality

Physical environment

In 2023 and 2024, the public space around the high-rise buildings on Aristotelesstraat will be improved. We encourage residents to contribute their ideas and get involved.
