Zuid-site

Officially, this is called the Graaf Van Vlaanderenplein but all the locals call it de Zuid (the South).

Trams and buses journey back and forth, bringing residents to the Administrative Centre, where all the municipal services have been centralised, or to the Public Library. The shopping centre opposite houses 40 shops and a supermarket.
