In the election manifestos many parties in Haarlemmermeer have decided to scrap the parallel Kaagbaan before the municipal elections in March. For example, the local party HAP, the second party after the VVD in Haarlemmermeer, also wants to get rid of the second Kaagbaan.
If no planes are allowed to land on it, we want to build houses there, the parties say. VVD member Nobel, party leader in the upcoming elections, speaks of a paper reality.
“We need to get rid of it as soon as possible,” said Nobel. “Before and behind the scenes, I also appeal to my own party.”
No irrevocable decisions
Almost two weeks ago, the new Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management, Harbers (VVD), visited residents of Rijsenhout, among others. They again asked him to make a quick decision so that they can continue with the development of their village.
But a cabinet decision on the plot of land is not expected for the time being. On Friday, Harbers informed the House of Representatives that the problem at Schiphol due to the stricter nitrogen, noise and nuisance regulations can complicated is that a solution is still months away.
Schiphol is advocating not to take any irrevocable decisions about the second Kaag runway this year.
