Kraainem wants to sell youth club De Villa, opposition criticizes years of neglect

The municipality of Kraainem plans to sell De Villa, a former youth club now in disrepair. The opposition criticizes the delay in addressing its condition and questions the sale's motivations. The local government argues that significant investments are needed to maintain the building, which has lost its original purpose as a youth meeting place. They aim to redirect support to other youth organizations. A real estate agent will be appointed for the sale, with demolition likely. The opposition raises concerns about the lack of maintenance and the future development of the site, fearing increased pressure on the already congested area.
