Today a newspaper reports that the construction of an asylum seekers' center is in Ewijk can continue. There were six groups of residents living nearby last year lodged an objection. They were against the establishment of the AZC. A municipal committee has rejected their objections and B&W of the municipality of Beuningen follows this advice and maintains the granted permit.
Residents of the future AZC in Ewijk stand in front of the municipality opposite Beuningen Arnhem. They want construction to be halted. Last month, the municipality announced that south of Ewijk an AZC comes to shelter three hundred refugees. This led to protests from local residents. They fear the depreciation of their homes, dangerous traffic situations and they also think that a period of ten years is far too long. The ruling follows in mid-October.
The newspaper writes about the municipality of Beuningen that has rejected the request of three residents to close the footpath next to their house. People were concerned that the future three hundred asylum seekers living in an asylum seekers' center Ewijk will come, walk past their home. They are afraid of their house prices falling and an anonymous resident of the neighborhood expresses the fear that asylum seekers will get bored and hang out there. The residents say they have nothing against refugees.
