Call for help to keep bicycle shed open longer
Since the beginning of December, the bicycle shed on Akerstraat has been closed from 19:00. Previously, it was only from 23:00. The main reason for this is long-term illness and staff shortages. The adjusted opening hours apply until the end of March. In order to be able to remain open until 23:00 in the meantime, Alderman Marco Peters an appeal was made to associations in our city for help.
Associations that want to help will receive a volunteer fee of 5 euros per hour. They will keep the shed open from Monday to Friday from 7 to 11 pm. This is possible throughout the winter period. Interested associations can send an email to fietsenstalling@heerlen.nl .
Keeping the bicycle shed open longer is, according to Alderman Marco Peters especially desirable at this time of year. “We are calling on all associations in our city. From brass bands and football clubs to scouting and KBO. In the run-up to Christmas, many people come to our city in the evening, but certainly also during the carnival season. We are very grateful to all associations that want to help us.”
