What is the Haut-Evere Neighbourhood Council?

The Haut-Evere Neighbourhood Council brings together volunteer residents who want a more pleasant, vibrant and friendly neighbourhood. Do you live between the E40 and Avenue Henry Dunant (including Rue de Zaventem)? If so, you’re part of Haut-Evere.

What is the purpose of a neighbourhood council?

It acts as a bridge between residents and the local council. Evere has three neighbourhood councils – Bas-Evere, Centre and Haut-Evere – which deal with matters of general interest such as roads, traffic, cleanliness and neighbourhood issues. They operate autonomously, without any links to political parties, and are independent of the local council.

What we do

• Pass on: we pass on your ideas, questions and concerns to the local authorities.
• Track: we keep a record of every enquiry and the response received, so that nothing gets lost.
• Keep residents informed: we share information about projects affecting the neighbourhood via our newsletter and meeting minutes.
• Bringing people together: neighbours’ day, ‘Place aux jeux’ screen-free day, Romanian evening… we create opportunities for people to meet.

What we are not

We do not make decisions on behalf of the local council, nor do we represent any particular interests: we champion issues that affect the neighbourhood as a whole. Our role is to provide information, give opinions and make recommendations.

Who can take part?

Any adult who lives or works in the neighbourhood. All you need to do is apply, and the committee will approve your application. Meetings are held at least once a quarter. You can also simply keep up to date with our news via the newsletter.
