Residents of the Zilverparkkade in Lelystad have asked the municipality to review the proposed site for a new memorial in Silver Park. They fear the monument could become a gathering place and worsen existing nuisance. Their representative, Ronald Bogaard, addressed the city council on Tuesday evening. The city council selected the site in 2024. Residents of the neighbouring Muntstraat and Neringweg previously objected, after which the municipality began a new procedure. According to the Zilverparkkade residents, they were not involved in the proposal's preliminary stage and only learned about it through the media, apart from a general presentation by then-alderman Kruis in 2024.
