The municipality of Den Bosch is coming up with additional measures to get through the corona time. For example, emergency shelter has again been arranged for vulnerable young people, the terrace tax is abolished and there is a rental discount for municipal buildings.
Because the corona crisis has a major impact on young people, many measures are aimed at this. For example, emergency shelter has been arranged for both primary and secondary vocational education for children of parents with crucial professions and for vulnerable pupils. In addition, the youth work will make extra efforts in the coming weeks for online activities and individual conversations.
In the new year, the GGD, PowerUp073 and Humanitas will open a drop-in point for young people from 12 to 23 years old. Especially to offer a listening ear. There will also be a number of activities this Bossche Winter, such as Radio Glas (a radio and YouTube station for and by young people) and Hunted Den Bosch (a GPS-controlled game in the neighborhood).
Horeca
The economic situation for the catering industry is becoming more dire by the day and some entrepreneurs are not covered by the existing regulations. That is why the municipality is in talks with the local department of Koninklijke Horeca Nederland (KHN), as well as with individual entrepreneurs. A number of companies in the municipality have voluntarily started to provide financial advice and legal expertise to starting catering entrepreneurs.
Although it is still a long way away, the municipality will also offer more space for terraces in the coming summer months. Furthermore, no tax has been levied on the terraces in recent months. Cried for this The Bossche Groenen previously mentioned in a motion.
Payment arrangements
Tenants of municipal buildings can qualify for a rental discount, in order to ease the fixed costs. It concerns more than twenty tenants who do not receive a subsidy from the municipality and who have problems with payment. This measure applies to 2020 and, if necessary, also to 2021. Increasing payment arrears at outdoor sports clubs are also being examined.
