Due to flood risks, 240 static caravans will be removed. Long-term residents, some of whom have lived there for 12 years, are angry and uncertain, as the new design focuses on tourist camping with tents and motorhomes.

Camper van burned out in Kaulille: smoke plume visible as far as Lommel

The fire started around 7:30 PM while the vehicle was moving. Due to the LPG system, the flames spread rapidly, and the smoke column was visible as far as Lommel. The road was temporarily closed, with traffic diverted via Kolis.
