Description

Perhaps you have just another idea for your neighborhood than the municipality. Or you have just the thing to make your neighborhood better, different, more pleasant, more beautiful or safer. We would like to work with you to see what is possible. This is 'Together in the neighborhood Heerlen'. 

Social activities and initiatives in public space

The municipality provides the basics. The residents take care of implementation and management. Many ideas, large and small, have already been realized in this way. They provide new élan in the neighborhood. And for connection between the people who live there. Together in the neighborhood we put our shoulders under a great neighborhood or street.

Clean-up actions

It is nice when there is no litter to be seen in the neighborhood. Would you like to help us by rolling up your sleeves, alone or with other neighbors? Or would your children like to help and save stickers they can spend later? If you participate, we will provide you with garbage bags, a sticker and a vest. We will collect the garbage collected from you. You can sign up for the actions:

  • Help in your neighborhood as a hero of Heerlen (for children aged 4-12)
  • Helping out in your neighborhood as a friend of Heerlen (for anyone age 13 and up)
  • organize a one-time cleanup event
  • adopt a trash can
