Plans for a new asylum centre in Schilde have sparked surprise among local officials. On 2025-05-27 18:38:00, it emerged that Fedasil has been developing proposals for this facility without informing the Schilde municipal government. The unexpected nature of these plans raises questions about communication and local involvement.
- Burgemeester Dirk Bauwens uit zijn verbazing
- Fedasil plant asielcentrum zonder gemeentebestuur
- 17 hectare site voorgesteld als opvangplek
- Fedasil informeert lokaal bestuur gisteren
- Opvangcentrum vervangt locatie in Deurne
- Deurne sluit asielcentrum eind dit jaar
The proposed asylum centre would be located on a 17-hectare site formerly owned by the Scheut Fathers. The current owners offered the property as a temporary shelter for asylum seekers. Fedasil revealed this plan only yesterday, explaining that the new centre would replace the existing facility in Deurne, which is set to close by the end of the year.
How will Schilde manage the sudden arrival of an asylum centre? And what impact will this have on the local community? These concerns underline the importance of clear dialogue between federal agencies and municipalities.
The situation highlights several key points worth considering:
- Why was the Schilde municipal government not consulted earlier in the planning process?
- How prepared is the local infrastructure to support an asylum centre of this scale?
- What measures will be taken to ensure community involvement and transparency going forward?
Looking ahead, it is crucial for Fedasil and Schilde’s authorities to engage in open dialogue. Ensuring transparency and cooperation will be vital to smoothly integrate the new asylum centre and address residents’ concerns effectively.
