Why is there frequent nuisance on Tussen Meer? "Attractive to young people from outside Osdorp"
Mayor Femke Halsema has identified Tussen Meer in Osdorp as a priority location due to persistent noise complaints caused by an influx of young visitors from outside the neighborhood. The city is responding with daily police monitoring, increased surveillance, and regular coordination between street coaches and youth workers to mitigate the disturbances.
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema has confirmed that the Tussen Meer street in Osdorp is experiencing structural noise complaints. Responding to inquiries from the Denk party, the mayor explained that the location is now considered a priority for local law enforcement. Residents have reported recurring issues involving rowdy youth, loud vehicles, and motorbikes, leading to sleep disruption for people living in the area. Halsema stated that the area has become increasingly attractive as an urban hub, drawing in young people from outside the Osdorp district. Social media visibility has significantly contributed to this trend, as footage of the street’s busy nightlife is shared online, further fueling the influx of visitors from surrounding municipalities.
To address these ongoing concerns, the city has implemented daily monitoring involving police, street coaches, and youth workers. Authorities are also utilizing drones and cameras to track activity and manage crowds, such as those that gathered during the World Cup. Local officials continue to hold meetings every two weeks to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions and maintain order on the street.
