Veilig en aangenaam het nieuwe jaar inzetten
We hopen dat iedereen het nieuwe jaar op een fijne en respectvolle manier inzet. Geniet van het feesten en zorg goed voor elkaar. Vanaf 20 uur mag je op en binnen de ring van Leuven geen glazen flesjes of andere verpakkingen met gedistilleerde drank meer bij je hebben.
