Background

In April, residents chose the 10 themes for this Burgerbegroting edition with a total budget of €750,000. Residents then allocated the amount across the 10 themes.

Between 18th June and 18th July, we received 199 project proposals. The municipality has assessed all proposals for feasibility. Submitters have already received the municipality's advice on their projects.
