Part of situation: Barendrecht asylum seeker center proposal (5 clusters)

Lombardijen Council proposes alternative site for Barendrecht asylum center

asylum seeker center Lombardijen Van Leeuwen Barendrecht Rotterdam

The Lombardijen district council has submitted an unsolicited proposal to the Rotterdam College of Mayor and Aldermen, suggesting an alternative location for a planned asylum seeker center (AZC) intended for 350 refugees.

Instead of the currently proposed Zuidelijk Randpark, the council suggests using the site designated for the relocation of the metal company Van Leeuwen. The council argues this could provide a solution for both refugee housing and the relocation of the company, which they describe as polluting. They suggest Van Leeuwen be moved to a safer and more suitable location.

The proposal also seeks to investigate whether financial resources tied to the Barendrecht AZC could be redirected to improve local facilities and livability within the Lombardijen district. This comes amid concerns regarding the Van Leeuwen company, following two recent fires at its Doklaan location and political questions regarding safety in Barendrecht.
