Residents are angry about the plan to give "their" Dijkstraat what they consider an "infantile name": as far as the municipality of Nijmegen is concerned, they will no longer live on Dijkstraat, but in Hofje van Bobbie. And a large part of the rest of the street will be changed to Belgiëstraat. Something they "will not accept under any circumstances." Who will win the battle for the street name?
