Coalition Presents Agreement: “Building Together on Voorne aan Zee

The VVD, PRO, CDA, EVV, D66, and ONS Voorne are proud to present the main points of their coalition agreement for the 2026–2030 term. The agreement, titled “Building Together on Voorne aan Zee, Voorne aan Zee is the result of open and constructive discussions among the six parties, led by coalition negotiator Ton Roerig (CDA). The parties did not shy away from their differences but instead made them open for discussion. This has led to a broadly supported course of action for the next four years.

The coalition has deliberately opted for a broad-outline agreement. This leaves room for debate in the city council and for collaboration with residents, business owners, and civic organizations as the agreement is further developed. The parties view the agreement as a shared starting point, with each working from their own role toward a strong, stable, and forward-looking Voorne aan Zee.

Key Points of the Agreement

Leading with Confidence

The foundation of this agreement is trust: stable leadership, effective cooperation between the council and the executive board, and a municipality that operates from the outside in.

Living with More Control and at Your Own Pace

We won’t solve the housing crisis with words, but with action. That’s why the coalition is opting for greater leadership. A single, integrated housing vision; adhering to the “three-thirds” principle (social rental and owner-occupied housing, mid-range rental and affordable owner-occupied housing, and the private sector); a temporary “accelerator” to move projects from planning to implementation more quickly; and a stronger Woonbedrijf. We are deliberately choosing not to establish a large-scale shelter for asylum seekers, but rather to create multiple smaller locations.

A quality of life you can feel on the street

The quality of our villages and neighborhoods determines how residents experience their municipality. That is why we are investing in the living environment through more visible and approachable enforcement, addressing parking issues with a special focus on historic fortifications, and creating well-maintained outdoor spaces with more greenery.

Living Together with an Emphasis on Prevention

The coalition is firmly committed to prevention. Identifying problems early on is better for residents and helps prevent more serious Health. This means paying more attention to the mental health of young people, combating loneliness, and preventing poverty and debt. A new policy for older adults will be implemented, and the social foundation provided by organizations, volunteers, and informal caregivers will be strengthened so that everyone can continue to participate in society.

Candidates for alderman

The coalition is nominating the following candidates for alderman:

  • VVD: Aart Jan Spoon   
  • PRO: Astrid Oosenbrug
  • CDA: Wilbert Borgonjen
  • EVV: Els Priester
  • D66: Erik Mulder
