Oosterhuizen lies on the border between the Veluwe and the IJssel Valley. It is a lively village with its own school, a village hall and a village council. \u2018A village with spirit\u2019, reads the place-name sign. This is reflected in the many activities, such as the annual fair, the winter fair and the four-day cycling event. But it is also evident in the little things the villagers do for one another.<\/p>\n

A close-knit village<\/h2>\n

Research and conversations with villagers show that Oosterhuizen is a great place to live. On average, residents give their homes and the neighbourhood in which they live a good rating. \u2018Well-being\u2019 (health and sense of happiness) also scores a solid 8. People generally get on well with one another. And they are happy to roll up their sleeves and get involved in village life.<\/p>\n

Few facilities<\/h2>\n

At the same time, there are also issues that need addressing. Apart from the village hall and the village school, there are few local facilities. For things like seeing a doctor, visiting the dentist or doing the shopping, people still have to go outside the village. That isn\u2019t always convenient.<\/p>\n

Traffic disruption<\/h2>\n

Traffic disruption is also a cause for concern. Residents are bothered by the noise from the road running alongside the canal and from the motorway. There is also rat-running through the village. And people sometimes drive far too fast.<\/p>\n

Suitable homes<\/h2>\n

Furthermore, there is actually no housing provision in the village for two groups: first-time buyers on the one hand, and older people in need of care on the other. There is therefore a need for housing. However, it should be in keeping with the character of the village. That means: preferably no new-builds, but, for example, homes in disused barns.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get to work together<\/h2>\n

To sum up: Oosterhuizen is a lovely village to live in, but there is also room for improvement. We have been working on this over the past few years. We are taking action together with residents. This will ensure that the village remains a great place to live, both now and in the future. To this end, we have drawn up an action plan.<\/p>\n

Agenda<\/h2>\n

Between 2020 and 2030*, we will be focusing particularly on five areas. First and foremost, the social environment: how can we ensure that Oosterhuizen remains a pleasant community? We will also be focusing on preserving the village\u2019s character and atmosphere. We are tackling road safety. We are also looking at issues relating to spatial planning and housing, such as the demand for more housing. And we are working towards a sustainable village.<\/p>\n

*\u00a0The action points on the agenda have been updated to 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
