Bouwmeester pulled out all the stops to show the council and local residents that the process with the COA was conducted with integrity, according to the Leusder Krant. According to the mayor, the municipality was also presented with a fait accompli at a number of times. For example, when the COA suddenly showed a draft purchase agreement, with which the purchase of the office building at the Speelkamp had in fact already been completed. But the mayor admits: “Communication with local residents should have been better.”
