Two hospitality venues in Tienen have been ordered to temporarily close their doors for failing to comply with the city’s police regulations. Since late January, the city has intensified its enforcement efforts against horeca establishments that do not meet legal requirements.
- Twee horecazaken in Tienen sluiten tijdelijk
- Stad treedt strenger op sinds januari
- Horecazaken moeten brandveiligheid en keuringsattesten hebben
- Zes eigenaars ontvingen juiste vergunningen recent
- Eigenaars zonder vergunning werden uitgenodigd overleg
- Niet opdagen leidt tot tijdelijke sluiting zaak
By 2025-05-21 12:37:00, most venues under increased scrutiny over the past four months have secured the necessary permits, including fire safety approvals and operator screenings. However, eight owners initially lacked proper certification, prompting the city to call them for consultations. While six have since obtained the required documents, two businesses remain non-compliant, leading to their temporary closure.
What does this stricter approach mean for local horeca businesses, and how will it affect customers in Tienen? The Fast Answer offers clarity on the situation.
Could these closures signal a broader crackdown across Belgium’s horeca sector? It’s clear that authorities are prioritizing public safety and legal compliance. Key points to consider include:
- 128 horeca venues in Tienen were already compliant as of January.
- Owners without permits were given a chance to meet requirements before closures.
- One owner plans urgent renovations, while another failed to attend the hearing.
- Specific names of the closed venues remain undisclosed to the public.
As Tienen continues its rigorous inspections, horeca owners should proactively review their compliance status. Will this lead to more widespread enforcement across Belgium? Customers can expect safer, better-regulated venues in the near future.
