Will Rotterdam Continue to Oppose Barendrecht AZC? 'We Find It Shocking'
Barendrecht has definitively approved an asylum seeker center (AZC) for 350 people in the Zuidelijk Randpark, located near Rotterdam’s Lombardijen district. Rotterdam alderman Joan Nunnely stated that while the decision lies with Barendrecht, she opposes facilitating access via Lombardijen due to its vulnerability. VVD council member Bradley van der Hoeven criticized the move as shocking, arguing Rotterdam bears the burden. Nunnely plans to consult stakeholders before finalizing the new college's stance, emphasizing that access should be routed through Barendrecht rather than impacting local residents.
