At least four trains per hour pass in front of the Domaine de la Garenne in Ghlin. In the middle of the day, the figure can go from simple to quadruple. An increasingly inconvenient situation for residents who live only a few meters from the rails.

Conversations are lively this Thursday morning on Mélanie’s terrace (video). However, as a train approaches, the voices die off. This is because, as soon as a train passes, we no longer know how to hear ourselves speak.
The couple bought one of the 115 lots in the subdivision over 10 years ago. This is also the case for many other neighbors who have invested in the area of La Garenne. The daily life of these families is punctuated by the incessant passage of trains. “We were lured with a promise of a calm environment and a wall that would protect us”
► The notary who made the sale says not having done such promise.
► 10 years after their purchase, local residents are exhausted: Mélanie testifies.
