Tienen centralises lending service and drops game kits and bouncy castles

From 2027, Tienen city council will scrap part of its lending service for youth and cultural equipment and centralise the rest at a single location. Associations and volunteers will then no longer be able to borrow, among other things, game and face-painting kits or bouncy castles for events. Opposition party Team Tienen calls the move a blow to local associations and volunteer work.
