Doel, part of the municipality of Beveren, is a 700-year-old village across the Schelde River from Antwerp, known for its nuclear power plant, and has been famous for decades as a doomed village after the authorities decided to demolish the entire town to expand the port of Antwerp.
In a campaign to save their town, the local authorities encouraged street artists to use the whole village as a canvas for their art and the place became a tourist attraction.
Now the pandemic and the way it has changed tourism has brought too many visitors.
Mayor Marc Van de Vijver is inviting tourists to go on their way. Due to the large number of tourists, security can simply no longer be guaranteed and the numerous visitors cause inconvenience to the inhabitants of the village.

Two Nigerian women, Ajima Ogbole-Spittael and Susan Ogbole, have raised alarm over the medical injustice they suffered at the hands of Belgian doctors, which led to the loss of cervix and paralysis for the women.
Mrs Ogbole-Spittael is married to a Belgian and based in Belgium, while her sister-in-law, Mrs Ogbole, travelled to Belgium for surrogacy.
Narrating their ordeal via a zoom meeting on Tuesday, Mrs Ogbole-Spittael, 35, said her experience started in 2017 when she and her husband were trying to conceive and she was diagnosed with multiple fibroids at Az Sint-Jan Bruges, Belgium.
In a bid to remove the fibroids, the doctor ,who carried out the surgery, erroneously amputated her cervix, making her incapable of carrying a pregnancy.
