New residents receive gift certificate to support local business owners
Every year the municipality of Son and Breugel organizes a bicycle tour for its new residents. During this bicycle tour college and council members show new residents the most beautiful places in the green village. Due to corona measures, the bicycle tour cannot take place this year.
To give new residents a warm welcome anyway, they will receive a personal letter from Mayor Hans Gaillard this week. In it is a link to the bicycle tour, so they can cycle it themselves (with roommates and/or family) anyway.
They will also receive a €10 gift voucher to spend at local entrepreneurs in the center. The voucher was created in cooperation with the OVSB (entrepreneurs association Son en Breugel). The budget that was available for the bike ride (for goodie bags with a drink and snack for the road) is now being spent on local entrepreneurs who are mostly struggling due to corona.
Social media
The municipality is calling on new residents to share photos of their bike ride to have some (digital) contact with each other.
