The new town hall in Weert is located on the ‘Singel’; the site of a former canal. The transition between the historic old town and its later extensions is still evident here. Crossing of the former canal has never been much of a triumph in Weert’s past, however this has now been turned around to become a real success story. The new town hall bridges the gap to become the jewel in the Singel’s crown. A spacious entrance featuring lots of glass indicates to the local residents the route to the service counters and the foyer on the ground floor. The council chamber is suspended like a balcony over the ‘Singel’, and offers views out over the town centre.
