Local residents of the Wiltenburg poultry company in Hekendorp want

Local residents of the Wiltenburg poultry farm in Hekendorp want Oudewater to designate the company as a peak loader. They write that in a letter to the college. According to the neighborhood, the company with 120,000 chickens, with associated emissions, can be regarded as a mega house. It is also right next to a Natura2000 area. A number of local residents live 100 meters away from the company and have been complaining about nuisance for years. By designating the company as a peak loader in the nitrogen discussion, the residents hope that the municipality or the province will talk to the farmer about buying out.
