Noting that:

1. In 2021, temporary measures were introduced in the Noorderplantsoen, one of which was an alcohol ban in several areas until 22:00.

2. The ban on alcohol around the pond in the Noorderplantsoen was primarily introduced due to a disruptive group of youths.

3. This specific group of youths has not been spotted in the Noorderplantsoen for years.

Considering that:

1. A majority of the council has consistently emphasized agreeing to the

   measures on the condition that they are temporary and effective.

2. Local residents indicate that the current measures are confusing and ineffective.

3. Alcohol is still regularly consumed around the pond.

4. This is far from consistently enforced.

5. Enforcement is therefore perceived as arbitrary by users who are fined.

Requests the Municipal Executive:

1. To lift the alcohol ban at the pond and the playground in the Noorderplantsoen and to allow the consumption of alcohol throughout the entire Noorderplantsoen until 22:00.
