  4. Communities: People working in the city centre, park their car around our centre, occupying the limited space meant for our visitors. This also leads to traffic and parking problems, blocked walkways, which some neighbours associate with our centre, and even leads to anti-social behaviour. What to do?
  5. Communities: People letting their dogs foul the pavements in our towns and villages;
  6. Communities: Housing problems – low supply/high demand – causing many problems in our towns and cities, with many people sleeping on our streets or in hostels;
  7. Inclusive society: How to bring organisations, who are involved with newcomers, together at one table in order to increase co-operation, efficiency and especially decrease waiting time in the integration trajectory for newcomers in Friesland?
  8. Inclusive society: Reduce fear (secure societies – protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens – Everybody has the right to follow their culture and respect others -).
