The new coronavirus (Covid-19) today affects all of Europe.

The renovation of the Bourse (Brussels Stock Exchange) started with some small works (dismantling of floors and ceilings). The actual works will be starting in the summer of 2020. At the beginning of 2023, the renewed Bourse will open its doors to the public.

From 1 March 2020, the Rue du Marché au Charbon (between the Place Fontainas and the Rue du Jardin des Olives) and the Rue du Jardin des Olives (between the Rue du Marché au Charbon and the Rue de la Gouttière) will become a pedestrian zone. Car traffic is then no longer allowed.

The 17 citizens and representatives of local associations of the Neder-Over-Heembeek - Mutsaard District Council (started on 25 April 2020) together identified the most important local needs. These were bundled into six theme questions.

From 1 March 2020, plastic bags for fruit and vegetables will be banned throughout the Brussels Capital Region, even for bags that are biobased and compostable at home.

Nearly 10 million lamps and light fixtures were collected by the Belgians in 2018. To reward that, Recupel launched a campaign in which every Belgian could identify his or her 'hidden treasures': beautiful but undervalued places that deserve to be put in the spotlight. 'Memory of Expo 58' in Laeken was one of the winners.
