Mayor Isabella has acted biased and careless in the plans surrounding the refugee shelter, the residents say. “We do not trust transparent treatment,” says resident Anita van Scheppingen. The municipality wants to house 175 asylum seekers in the so-called ‘Houten Hub’, on the edge of the municipality. Isabella previously told RTV Utrecht that she considers the chance that the temporary shelter will be created “100 percent”.
