  • The home battery

    ,

    Let's drop in on you right away with a question. You can respond via info@coevering50.nl. As you all know, the net metering scheme stops. This is expected to increase energy bills.

  • Open day "a happy dog"

    In June 2026, the board had already met Manou Geresse from A Happy Dog. Of course we also went to take a look during the Open Day on September 6. Fortunately, it was a sun-drenched day and therefore quite busy with people who came to take a look. Since our first visit, there has been a lot of...

  • BuitenBeter app works

    In recent years, we have regularly walked through our neighborhood with the municipality during a neighborhood inspection. We then drew the attention of the municipality to everything that needed attention. Often the loose paving stones on our sidewalks were also brought to the attention. But there is actually a much more convenient method: just use the BuitenBeter app. The...

  • Full article in the email

    Following the notification email for the Summer Neighborhood Get-Together, we received a response. “Why can’t I read the entire message in the email?

  • Another governance crisis

    You may still remember the General Members' Meeting (GMM) of 2022. "The nature of the GMM was mainly determined by the fact that, as a result of the lack of new board members, the survival of the association has become uncertain. Therefore, an acute management crisis has arisen!" Unfortunately, 4 years later we are left with the same thing again...

  • New Year's greeting

  • Scammers active

    Last week, scammers were active in Bosrand. One of our neighbors first received a call from a so-called prevention team asking questions about their living situation. After this call, an unknown person came to the door urgently needing to use the toilet. Then another call came. If you answer it…

  • Vision area Bosrand

    ,

    We found the document below on the Internet. It concerns a written round of questions submitted by the political party SAMEN. Also interesting is the map included in the response.

In 2018, he became chairman, and in 2022 he…

  • Your opinion wanted

    We are slowly trying out and adding some new functionality on the C50 website. One feature we didn't have on the old website was a survey. Sometimes we would like to know your opinion and via a paper newsletter is quite cumbersome. We're going to make an attempt with the...

  • Successful enforcement action in the nature reserves

    We received the following message from Forester Schram of Staatsbosbheer. Possibly a warning for local residents who like to walk their dogs freely.
