GORINCHEM – The first curious viewers report to the gate at the Chalk Street, but there is not much news to report yet. The search for foundations or other memories of the fourteenth-century Court of the Lords of Arkel only started on Monday. Even before the construction of a V&D department store, which starts in the first week of October, archaeologists will have the opportunity. The costs of this are higher than estimated. The municipality had already made 95 thousand euros available, but the municipal council is being asked for an additional 48 thousand euros.
A special newsletter from the archaeology working group is now available at the town hall.
