We do this together

To ensure that New Year's Eve is as safe as possible, we are implementing various measures:

Before New Year's Eve

  • The Enforcement Team and the police check whether there are any flammable items lying around on the streets. Many Zoetermeerders out, including the neighborhood watch teams from Wijk en Agent Samen (WAS).
  • The municipality removes flammable materials from the city in consultation with the police and fire department.
  • The municipality will close all underground waste containers on December 31 from 4:00 p.m. until New Year's Day at 6:00 a.m.
  • The two municipal parking garages on Osylaan and under the CKC will be closed from 7:00 p.m. on December 31 to 9:00 a.m. on New Year's Day.
  • The trash cans will be locked throughout Zoetermeer to prevent damage from fireworks.

During New Year's Eve

  • The police are conducting extra patrols to ensure that New Year's Eve passes as safely as possible.
  • Violence against emergency workers will not be tolerated.
  • The police take strict action against vandalism and violence. We also ask you to keep an eye out. If you see anything suspicious, call the police: 0900-8844.
  • The fire department has extra personnel on standby to respond quickly in the event of an emergency.
  • The municipality deploys extra security in areas with above-average nuisance.
  • If you see anything suspicious, please alert the police by calling 112 (emergency) or 0900-8844 (non-emergency).
