South Holland’s Barendrecht wants to get rid of the Shell station currently located there on Dierensteinweg. A lease contract with the municipality still runs for the station until the end of 2026.

The council recently discussed an area vision that will be initiated as early as mid-2021. Redevelopment should create more space for business activity and a “clear traffic structure”.

“In principle, the Dierensteinweg area vision no longer includes space for the current Shell petrol station, which still has a lease with the municipality until the end of 2026,” the accompanying proposal reads. On the one hand, the petrol station should be dropped because to provide more space for business development. And on the other hand, “the current access at the Shell is restricting the flow of traffic on Dierensteinweg.”

Support

Although the vision is not yet a fact, and permit processes still need to be carried out after its adoption, the municipality does see it as a serious step forward. Talks are also already being held with parties who want to establish themselves in the area soon, and there also seems to be broad support for the plans within the municipal council.
