The municipality of Eindhoven underestimates the risks of potential disasters at industrial area ‘De Hurk’. According to the ‘Werkgroep voor Natuurbehoud en Milieubeheer’ (work group on nature conservation and environment) (WNM) in Eindhoven.
There is a new zoning for the industrial area in Strijp. According to WNM too little account is taken of major disasters at risk companies in the area as Air Liquide. There is no evacuation plan for a number of offices and an important shelter is missing for when a fire breaks out at De Hurk.
Nevertheless, the committee for appeals of the town finds that the objections of WNM are unfounded. The Chair Loet Versfeld is dissapointed. He will try to convince the Eindhoven politics of "underrated safety risks" this week. Next week the city council debates on the new zoning.
