Summary of the Election Program in\u00a0<\/strong>English.<\/b><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tilburg and the villages of Berkel-Enschot, Udenhout and Biezenmortel together form a
\nmunicipality where life is good and people feel at home. A city and villages with their own
\ncharacter, strong local businesses, an active community life and engaged residents. The
\nTilburg VVD believes Tilburg is doing well, but can do even better. Less talk, more action.
\nIn this summary we outline what we want to build in the coming years: housing, safety,
\naccessibility, entrepreneurship, vibrancy and a municipality that handles public money
\nwisely.<\/p>\n

1. A pleasant home to live in<\/strong>
\nHousing is the greatest challenge of our time. Starters, families, seniors and students all
\nfeel the impact of the housing shortage. For the Tilburg VVD, sufficient and affordable
\nhousing is therefore the highest priority. We aim to double housing production and build
\naround 3,000 new homes per year. We will build both within the city and at its edges,
\nmaking clear choices in advance to speed up projects.
\nWe enable smaller and more affordable homes, allow housing subdivision more easily and
\nensure sufficient student housing. For labour migrants we provide decent housing at
\nappropriate locations, with strict enforcement against abuses. The reception of asylum
\nseekers is fair, within agreed limits and focused on participation of those with prospects.<\/p>\n

2. Safety on the street, at home and online<\/strong>
\nFreedom only exists when people feel safe. Everyone in Tilburg should be able to be
\nthemselves without intimidation or fear. We invest in visible enforcement, safe streets and
\ngood lighting. Nuisance is tackled firmly and organised crime is fought hard, including
\nthrough the Tilburg \u2018show-off crime\u2019 approach: crime must not pay.
\nOnline safety is also a priority. Digital crime is increasing and affects residents and
\nentrepreneurs alike. That is why we invest in cyber resilience and prevention. At the
\nintersection of care and safety we choose an integrated approach, so that people with
\nconfused behaviour receive timely help and police capacity is relieved.<\/p>\n

3. Accessibility for everyone<\/strong>
\nTilburg must remain accessible for everyone: by car, bicycle, public transport and on foot.
\nWe believe in freedom of choice: people decide for themselves how they travel. We
\nensure that residents can always reach their homes by car and keep parking affordable.
\nOutside the city centre, the first two hours of parking will be free.
\nAt the same time we invest in traffic safety, better cycling infrastructure and reliable public
\ntransport for all neighbourhoods and villages. Sustainable alternatives such as shared
\nmobility are encouraged, but never forced.<\/p>\n

4. Room to do business<\/strong>
\nEntrepreneurs are the beating heart of Tilburg. They create jobs, innovation and vitality.
\nThe Tilburg VVD chooses space and trust. We reduce regulatory pressure, simplify
\npermits and keep local taxes as low as possible.
\nAt least 140 hectares of additional business land will be developed so existing companies
\ncan grow and start-ups get a real chance. The municipality thinks along and looks for
\nsolutions rather than obstacles. A strong local economy is the foundation of a strong city.<\/p>\n

5. A vibrant city centre, neighbourhoods and villages<\/strong>
\nVibrancy makes Tilburg attractive. Events, culture, sports and hospitality bring people
\ntogether. We make organising activities easier and give room to initiatives in
\nneighbourhoods and villages.
\nThe city centre remains accessible and appealing to residents and visitors. Sports clubs
\nand cultural initiatives are given space to grow, creating connection, pride and a strong
\ncommunity throughout the municipality.<\/p>\n

6. Careful with your money<\/strong>
\nThe municipality works with taxpayers\u2019 money. We handle it carefully. The Tilburg VVD
\nopts for a smaller, more efficient local government and makes clear choices. We stop
\nprojects that cost a lot but deliver little.
\nIn sustainability too, every euro counts. We invest only in measures with proven impact
\nand keep energy and housing affordable. This is how we build a future-proof Tilburg
\nwithout unnecessary burdens.<\/p>\n
