The City of Brussels is stepping up the fight against fly-tipping by doubling various fines for nuisance offences from 1 August.
Authorities will also expand the options for free bulky waste collection from this autumn.
Just for your information the current mayor of Brussels and his predecessor are both executives at Vivaqua. The saga of extreme corruption and conflicts of interest at this company continues, they truly have no shame!
>The American embassy’s celebration of the country’s independence anniversary on 28 June will mean up to 11 days of identity checks in and around Cinquantenaire Park.
>The City of Brussels has issued a police order granting the US embassy permission to secure a closed perimeter around the park from 8.00 on 21 June to 22.00 on 2 July, Bruzz reports.
>The security checks will take place in the park itself “and at all entrances and exits to the area where the activities are taking place”, according to the police order.
>The state of Saint-Josse-ten-Noode’s finances is so abysmal that Brussels is considering placing its smallest municipality under the control of the region.
>The cumulative budget deficit of Saint-Josse was almost €14 million in 2024 and now stands at about €30 million just two years later.
The solution to these complaints? Merge all the communes into one! One mayor for the Brussels municipality! That’s the best solution for corrupt politicians. Let’s cut some of their seats and save budget!
>Brussels environment secretary Ans Persoons (Vooruit.brussels) has condemned the increased noise pollution caused by the RNP-07 flight path over the municipalities in the north of the Brussels region, calling it "inhumane".
>“We need a better distribution; this situation is no longer acceptable,” Persoons said, emphasising that Brussels must be at the negotiating table to find a solution.
>The use of the RNP-07 flight path, announced last summer as a temporary and emergency measure, is scheduled to continue at least until the end of October despite protests by residents’ groups and criticism from authorities.
