From Tuesday, alcohol will be banned on the Dapperplein in East. The district has introduced this measure to reduce nuisance from alcoholics.

Drinking alcohol and taking opened bottles and cans with alcoholic drinks is no longer allowed from Tuesday.
Since the spring, a group of alcoholics on the square has caused a lot of nuisance. Local residents and visitors to the catering establishments are harassed or intimidated. In addition, there is regular noise nuisance, urinating in public and dealing drugs.
In addition to the alcohol ban, the district is using police and enforcement to keep an extra eye on the square. In addition, social workers try to approach the nuisances and offer help.
The alcohol ban is indefinite, but will be evaluated later. As soon as the cafes and restaurants are allowed to reopen, the eateries around the square will be exempt from the alcohol ban.
