Ruud Verkuijlen, coordinator of the New Year’s Eve National Police:
“We see that nuisance caused by fireworks has doubled in recent months, and we also notice that this is starting earlier. On the one hand, because many people are at home instead of at work, which means that we also receive more nuisance reports. At the same time, we also see that young people are bored and are looking more for this kind of entertainment. “
“We are very happy that many municipalities are looking at alternatives to setting off fireworks, especially for young people. They will be necessary, because you have to offer the youth something to add extra luster to the New Year. But on a positive way. “
