The municipality of Twenterand also had two city halls, because of the merger between the former municipalities of Vriezenveen and Den Ham in 2001. The city hall in Vriezenveen remained. The extended municipality of Vriezenveen is called Twenterand since 2003. The former municipal area of Vriezenveen belongs to the region of Twente and the former municipal area of Den Ham partly to the region of Salland and partly to the region of Twente.

gollark: I emailed TJ09 asking for clarification, at least, not that I expect *that* to work either.
gollark: I've decided to just shut down my hatchery thing. There's basically no chance of the issue being resolved sensibly.
gollark: Probably. I don't think I could get much more even by breeding it, but thought it would be worth asking at least.
gollark: I got that 3G prize from CB prize I was mentioning earlier.I've gotten an offer of IOUs for (from someone on here, so relatively trustworthy) a 3G SAltkin and 3G PB prize.Would it be sensible to just take that or try and get a different thingy or even just keep the one I have?
gollark: A surprisingly clever strategy.
