"You have to do it together"

On the location of 't Loo’ apartment block, used to be the church “De Goede Herder”. "We got married here, and our children were baptized," say board members of the tenants' committee Wim and Christa van der Ven during the lustrum meeting. "It's extra special to be able to live in this place now."

The 't Loo apartment complex was completed in 2018 and has 38 homes. Wim and Christa have been living there since the beginning. "There have only been six changes so far. A good sign. We live in the corner apartment on the ground floor, and we have a lovely unobstructed view of the park. It's small but nice. The most beautiful spot in the complex, if we may say so ourselves. We're not leaving here!"

Wim and Christa have been on the tenants' committee board since the beginning. "We have the time for it. We have a meeting once every six weeks. That's quite often, but there have been some issues from the beginning that needed to be solved. Leaks, a malfunctioning elevator or barrier, issues with underfloor heating and solar panels. Thankfully, everything is being worked on now. You have to solve it together. Otherwise, you won't get anywhere. And that's how everything turned out well," says Christa.

Events are also regularly organized in the complex. "You have to do it together. Although it's always the same people who are there and do something. But that's how it goes."
