Een gemeente waarin jongeren kunnen blijven wonen, ouderen zelfstandig oud worden, ondernemers kansen krijgen zonder gehinderd te worden door bureaucratie, en goede voorzieningen zoals sport, verenigingen en recreatie bijdragen aan levendige dorpen en stadjes.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div
