Heerlen establishes Center for Safety, Livability, Care & Justice in Hoensbroek
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen has approved the purchase of the property Kouvenderstraat 97 in Hoensbroek. The building will house the Center for Safety, Livability, Care & Justice. The building is located right in the center of Hoensbroek and is spacious. It is among other things a place for professionals from the neighborhood and region to collaborate on safety, quality of life, care and justice. After renovation and preservation, it will open around May 2025.
At first we talked about the "Safety Center" for this place of cooperation, but we have changed this name. The new name does more justice to the diversity of partners participating. A total of 26 organizations or teams are associated with the Safety, Livability, Care & Justice Center and use the location as a permanent or flexible workplace. Students from the Order and Safety mbo program, from the enforcement officer or police officer program, also walk directly with the professionals.
Mayor Roel Wever : “With the centre, we are strengthening the presence of partners in the field of safety, liveability, care and law in Hoensbroek and the rest of Heerlen-Noord. I am very happy about that, certainly for the residents of Hoensbroek. For example, a police station will be established in the building and the Zorg- en Veiligheidshuis Parkstad will move here. The centre also offers participating partners and our professionals in the field of care and safety a unique collaboration location. Unique also because residents can walk in here with their questions about safety, liveability and experienced social problems.”
Alderman Marco Peters: “The restructuring of Hoensbroek Centrum is a top priority. Creating the Centrum Veiligheid, Leefbaarheid, Zorg en Recht is an important milestone in this approach. It meets what residents, entrepreneurs and visitors find important for a liveable and vital center."
