Coffee shop policy

The adopted paper Future Coffeeshop Policy Kerkrade has two main pillars.

One is allowing up to three coffee shops. The second pillar is enforcement.

With the permitting of three locations (October 2001), a stricter enforcement policy also came into effect. After toleration orders were issued to the coffee shops on Grensstraat, Hammolenweg and Veldhofstraat on January 23, 2002, enforcement was further tightened.

Meanwhile, the Grensstraat location has been closed and the number of coffee shops has been set at two in the interim.
