Rotterdam Neighborhood Supports Asylum Center Instead of Recycling Plant
The Lombardijen neighborhood council in Rotterdam has proposed replacing a controversial recycling plant with an asylum seeker center (azc) to resolve disputes over both facilities. The proposal aims to prevent the Van Leeuwen recycling company from moving to the residential area following a recent fire, while also addressing plans for an azc in nearby Barendrecht. Council members PRO and Denk expressed interest in the creative solution, but Leefbaar Rotterdam opposed it, fearing two centers would end up close together.
