The municipality of Temse is commencing the redesign of the Volksplaats, expected to last until the end of the year and give the square a greener appearance.

The works on the Volksplaats have started and are expected to last until the end of the year. The schedule may change due to factors like bad weather or unforeseen circumstances.
During the works, the Volksplaats will be inaccessible. A temporary parking ban will also be in effect in parts of the surrounding streets. Traffic signs will indicate where and when parking is prohibited. Please pay close attention to this signage.
Construction inevitably causes inconvenience. We strive to minimize this and thank you for your understanding.
After completion, the Volksplaats will feature a new design with ample greenery, benches, and a fun play area for children. Paths for cycling and wadis for walking over will be provided.
This will transform the square back into a pleasant meeting place for local residents.
