Districts and villages
We all want to live in a pleasant environment. With clean streets, enough parking spaces and playgrounds. A place where you can enjoy meeting others and where it is safe at night. Neighbourhood and village associations, neighbourhood panels and village associations work to achieve this together with the City of Leeuwarden.
Work and projects in your neighbourhood
There is a digital overview of all projects in your neighbourhood or village planned for next year.
Neighbourhood panels and village associations
A neighbourhood panel or village association is a voluntary organisation. It involves residents, organisations or entrepreneurs from the neighbourhood or village. They consist of about 4 to 12 members. Members discuss plans and measures taken by the local authority, housing associations, the police or welfare institutions. Neighbourhood panels and village associations are important and indispensable groups for the City of Leeuwarden to work with. You too can contact the members if you want to organise an activity, or have a plan for your neighbourhood or village.
Each neighbourhood panel and village association has its own contact person from the local authority. For more information, go to the overview of contact persons for neighbourhoods and villages.
Community centre and village hall
The neighbourhood associations and village associations run the community centres and village halls. People from the various associations and organisations in the neighbourhood or village make up the association. They organise activities for the residents.
Get involved in your neighbourhood or village
Most panels welcome new members. Because they like to speak on behalf of all target groups. For example, young people, the elderly, people with and without migrant backgrounds and people from different income groups. Would you like to help organise activities or serve on the board of your community centre? If so, sign up with your neighbourhood panel or village association.
Area-based working handbook
The handbook Handboek gebiedsgericht werken (area oriented work) explains how the local authority deals with the following issues and what you can expect from it:
- Advocacy.
- Liveability (clean, intact and safe): from the management of public spaces, to current issues in a neighbourhood or village.
- Activities and initiatives: what to consider when organising activities or developing an idea.
