Ermelo prioritizes enforcement of permanent residence at holiday parks

◆1 source

The municipality of Ermelo made monitoring and enforcement of permanent residence at holiday parks a top priority. It planned to intensify monitoring, carry out more frequent enforcement and allocate nearly €100,000 to the effort.

In doing so, the municipality went against an appeal by Minister Elanor Boekholt-O'Sullivan to exercise restraint in enforcement and, as far as possible, allow existing residents to remain.

Home Minister Elanor Boekholt-O'Sullivan said the measure is not a quick fix. In the Reevedelta near Kampen, where about 3,800 homes are planned, land purchases and sales have delayed construction. Boekholt-O'Sullivan visited Kampen to examine how those negotiations could be accelerated.
