Amsterdam’s municipal executive presented a €6 million plan to reduce nuisance linked to alcohol and drug use. It plans to expand shelter provision and drug-consumption rooms, with particular attention to the Oosterpark area and the H-buurt. The executive will decide whether to establish one or two consumption rooms near Oosterpark; in the H-buurt, it plans more shelter places and consumption rooms in residential facilities used by people who spend their days in the area.

The plan also calls for closer cooperation between agencies to address people who repeatedly cause nuisance. The city has made 274 extra beds available for winter, including 37 additional night-shelter places at Blaka Watra and Flierbosdreef in Zuidoost, and is examining whether winter provision can become permanent shelter from April. It is also considering support for some EU-country nationals with addictions to return to and receive care in their countries of origin. The executive is to provide an update in March 2027.
