Over 400 registrations for the Citizens' Council
Interest in the Citizens' Council in the municipality of Hellendoorn is high. At the end of February, invitation letters for the Citizens' Council were sent to a selected group of residents. In the past few weeks, over 400 residents have already registered. This shows strong engagement with the topic of housing in our municipality!
The Citizens' Council will bring together 100 residents to discuss the question: how do we want to live now and in the future in the municipality of Hellendoorn? Topics include affordable housing, homes for different target groups, and new forms of living.
During the Citizens' Council, residents will engage in discussions, receive information from experts, and work together to draft advice for the municipal council. This advice will be recorded in a Citizens' Agreement.
Since there are more registrations than available spots, a second lottery will take place.
Residents who have received an invitation letter can still register until Wednesday, March 25, at 23:59. They will receive a message on Friday, March 27, confirming whether they can participate in the Citizens' Council.
