Hi, How can we help?

Yes, there will be lockers available during our events at the Gashouder. You can buy your locker ticket online before the event. You will receive (24 hours before the event) an e-ticket with your own locker number and a secret code, so this will avoid waiting at the locker desk.

The locker measurements are:
Standard: H22 * B25 * D50 cm
Large: H36 * B25 * D50 cm

Aan: Omwonenden van het Westerpark

Datum, december 2019

Onderwerp: evenementen op indoor-locaties Westergasfabriek 30 december
tot 1 januari 2020

Geachte omwonende en gebruiker van het Westerpark,

Rond oud en nieuw, op 30, 31 december en 1 januari, vinden er verschillende evenementen plaats op de Westergas. Het gaat om evenementen in verschillende binnen-locaties.

De verschillende organisatoren hebben de handen ineengeslagen om de veiligheid in en rondom het park goed te regelen en om te zorgen dat overlast tot een minimum beperkt wordt. De volgende maatregelen zijn hiervoor georganiseerd:

• Er is voldoende security in en rondom de verschillende locaties.
• Bureau Verkeersregelaar Nederland wordt ingehuurd voor een soepele in- en uitstroom van bezoekers die per auto, fiets of taxi komen.
• Op de Cite wordt een nieuwe pilot gedaan met daar de taxilus. Er worden extra verkeersregelaars ingezet om overlast van toeterende taxi’t te voorkomen. Er worden ook borden geplaatst langs de Haarlemmerweg waar aangegeven wordt dat er niet getoeterd mag worden i.v.m. omwonenden.
• De fietsbrug aan de Haarlemmerweg wordt ’s nachts ontoegankelijk gemaakt tot 08:30 om overlast op de Haarlemmerweg te voorkomen en dat bezoekers daar de buurt ingaan. Buurtbewoners kunnen vanaf 07:00 wel het park in via de fietsbrug.
• Er worden verkeersregelaars ingezet op de Haarlemmerweg op o.a. de volgende posities: ingang Waterkeringweg, bushalte nabij fietsbrug en de bruggen aan beide ingangen van het park.
• In het park worden diverse fietsenstallingen geplaatst.
• De Gemeente zet handhavers in om met name taxi’s/ snorders aan te kunnen pakken en bij klachten over geluid te gaan meten of de normen niet worden overschreden. Bewoners kunnen ook inloggen op het Munisense meetsysteem dat voor de Gemeente het geluid op de gevels meet.
Awakenings voert zelf metingen uit rondom de events.

Wat wordt er nog meer gedaan om de overlast te beperken?
Awakenings heeft met Parkeergarage Westergasfabriek een afspraak gemaakt om crew en bezoekers tegen een gereduceerd tarief te laten parkeren, om parkeeroverlast te voorkomen. De bezoekers worden (zoals altijd) achterlangs via het fietspad aan de spoorzijde naar de entree geleid en er wordt een schoonmaakbedrijf ingehuurd om de aanlooproutes in het park te reinigen. Op dinsdagochtend 31 december en donderdagochtend 2 januari zal de uitstroom niet achterlangs gaan maar via de Gosschalklaan, om het achter-fietspad vrij te houden voor woon-werk-verkeer. Westerunie en Awakenings plaatsen banners waarop wordt aangeven dat vertrekkende bezoekers stil moeten zijn en respect moeten hebben voor de buren.

Als u ondanks onze inspanningen toch nog (geluids-)overlast van het evenement ervaart, dan kunt u dit melden bij de Gemeente Amsterdam, telefoonnummer van de horecaklachtenlijn: 020 421 4567 (24 uur bereikbaar). Ook met complimenten kunt u daar terecht. U kunt Awakenings ook direct bereiken op het telefoonnummer: 085-
2103705 tijdens de events.
