Roermond locals, is your neighbourhood actually liveable? Tell them before June 29

Key Takeaway

The Roermond Court of Audit is launching a neighbourhood survey about local amenities like supermarkets, GPs, and sports clubs. Residents can fill in a seven-minute anonymous questionnaire until June 29 at doemeeroermond.nl to help evaluate municipal planning.

Quick honest question: how far do you have to walk for a carton of milk? And is your GP just around the corner, or basically a small expedition away?

That is exactly the kind of everyday stuff the Roermond Court of Audit wants to hear about from you. Whether you are young, older, raising kids, or living solo, the things in your neighbourhood truly shape your day.

Here is what they want to know:

🛒 Can you easily do your groceries?
🩺 Is the GP close enough?
⚽ Are there enough sports and leisure options?
👵 Is there something to do for both young and old?

Filling it in takes about seven minutes, basically the time it takes to drink a coffee. Your answers stay completely anonymous and help the municipality take a sharper look at their own plans.

You can join in until June 29 via www.doemeeroermond.nl. So grab that coffee and speak up, because who knows your street better than you?

What many people do not realise: the Court of Audit (Rekenkamer) is an independent body, separate from the mayor and aldermen. They check whether municipal policy actually works for residents, and neighbourhood surveys like this one often weigh heavier in council decisions than your average town hall meeting.
