Six furious municipalities demand back nitrogen rights from Lelystad airport

Wiggers speaks on behalf of six municipalities: Elburg, Epe, Hattem, Heerde, Oldebroek and Voorst are joining forces in the fight against Lelystad airport. “We’re all going to have to build a lot of extra houses over the next few years to solve the housing crisis,” he explains. “It’s not possible at the moment, because we don’t have nitrogen rights for it, and at the same time we also have to restore nature. As municipalities, we don’t have money to buy farmers, so we depend on the government to steal the Veluwe from the nose of the government it’s not morally correct.”
