New residents receive gift vouchers to support local businesses
Every year, the municipality of Son en Breugel organizes a bike tour for its new residents. During this bike tour, council members show new residents the most beautiful spots in the green village. Due to the coronavirus measures, the bike tour cannot take place this year.
To give new residents a warm welcome, they will receive a personal letter from Mayor Hans Gaillard this week. It will contain a link to the bike tour, so that they can still cycle it themselves (with housemates and/or family).
They will also receive a €10 gift voucher that can be spent at local businesses in the town center. The voucher has been created in collaboration with the OVSB (Son en Breugel Business Association). The budget that was available for the bike ride (for goodie bags with a drink and snack for along the way) will now be spent on local businesses, many of which are struggling due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Social media
The municipality is calling on new residents to share photos of their bike rides so that they can still have some (digital) contact with each other.
