Residents of Zwijndrecht and Antwerp have put their municipal governments in default, with the support of Greenpeace and Bond Beter Leefmilieu. They believe that too few precautions are being taken in the context of the Oosterweel works. "We are not opponents of Oosterweel, but we do demand that sufficient guarantees are provided for our health. If our municipal governments do not act to protect our health, then perhaps we should do it ourselves."

Dear Mayor,
Dear members of the city council,
Dear members of the municipal council,
We are writing this letter to you on behalf of an ever-growing group of concerned residents of Antwerp, the beautiful city that we have entrusted to you with complete confidence. We are writing to you because we are concerned about the pollution of our city with PFOS and the consequences for the health of all Antwerp residents. But we are writing to you mainly because we have the impression that at 't Schoon Verdiep, in contrast to outside, there is still no sense of urgency about this problem. Seen from the left bank, it remains quiet on the other side, and so we feel abandoned.
