A new neighbourhood hub at Leyweg 940J brings together students, local businesses and the municipality to support a safer and more welcoming shopping area.
Samen Leyweg opened on 5 November. The partnership involves ROC Mondriaan’s Order and Safety programme, the Leyweg business investment zone and municipal teams working on the local economy and housing.
From Tuesday to Friday, students use the premises as their base while working in the shopping district. Wearing recognisable yellow vests, they patrol in coordination with the business association.
The site is also intended to have a broader role. In evenings and at weekends it can accommodate initiatives such as the Ondernemersschool and other projects contributing to the development of the Leyweg and surrounding neighbourhood.
The municipality describes the hub as an investment in both the shopping street and the people who use it, combining practical experience for students with support for local entrepreneurs.
