Wijk bij Duurstede is investigating the possibility of a reception boat for more than 80 asylum seekers

The intention is that the asylum ship can be used for a period of several years. There should be room on the ship for 80 to 100 asylum seekers. The municipality will investigate various locations for the shelter. “In doing so, we enter into dialogue with our residents, because support and understanding from the community is very important,” says mayor Iris Meerts. In addition, the family composition and the presence of facilities in the neighborhood are also taken into account. “Think of daytime activities and health care.”
