Kuurne closes recycling park from January 1: "Goes directly against election promise"

The recycling park in Kuurne will close from January 1 due to rising costs and unexpected budget cuts from the Flemish government. The opposition criticizes this decision, highlighting it contradicts previous election promises. The municipality had planned to transform the park into an inter-municipal facility, but the costs led to its closure instead. Residents will now need to travel to nearby towns for waste disposal, which has raised concerns among locals. The opposition argues that breaking such promises undermines trust in local governance.
