Neighbourhood mediation: finding a solution together
A good relationship with your neighbours is important for a nice living environment. But sometimes tensions or misunderstandings arise. Think of noise nuisance, overhanging branches, clutter or communication problems. In such cases, it can be difficult to start the conversation. Fortunately, you don't have to do it alone.
At neighbourhood mediation in Lelystad, trained volunteers help neighbours get back in touch with each other. They listen to both sides of the story and guide the conversation in a neutral way. The aim is to reach a solution together that everyone can agree on.
Neighbourhood mediation is:
- Free
- Confidential
- Independent
- Effective: in many cases it leads to lasting engagements
When do you involve community mediation?
You can use neighbourhood mediation for all kinds of neighbourhood quarrels or annoyances, such as:
- Noise pollution
- Arguing about property boundary or fence
- Pet nuisance
- Parking problems
- Poor communication or misunderstandings
Talking in time
Sometimes it already helps to start the conversation in time. Our community work staff can give you tips on how to do this properly. We also organise meetings and training sessions on neighbour contact and quality of life in the neighbourhood.
