Today 900 years ago Utrecht became a city. And until October this will be celebrated. Today a lot of events are taking place and the day will be closed by local band Kensington playing accompanied by the bells of the Dom Tower between 8.45 and 10pm tonight.
As a warm up to this show there will be various dance performance in the squares nearby the Dom Tower. Including around the corner from me. I'm not sure when the three way cross roads around the corner became a square (it isn't). It'll start at 4.30pm.
I don't mind the performance, but it would have been nice to know, I just read it on a news website this morning. But I can't find any details. I assume some time between 3 and 4 the roads will be closed off. In these cases the council should inform the businesses and people living the area about this. But more and more they "forget" to do this. What if my mother had to go to an appointment? She can just about make it to a car if it's parked in front of our house (we have a permit to drive in the pedestrian area)?
It would also be nice to be able to inform our customers about any road closures. Which I still can't do because I can't find any information.
