Dear residents and interested parties,
The topics covered in this newsletter are:
- Maastricht participatory budgeting
- Preuvenemint 202 5
- Work on Wilhelminabrug/Kesselkade/Hoenderstraat
- Progress on renovation of former V&D building
- Maastricht Citizens’ Budget
In a citizens’ budget, residents decide together how part of the government’s money is spent. This year, projects can be submitted within four themes. A portion of the total budget is available for each theme. The total budget for this year is almost €750,000. The Maastricht Citizens’ Budget is all about implementing projects that have been submitted and selected by residents. The municipality is therefore asking everyone to publicise the Citizens’ Budget in the city.
Submissions from 18 August to 14 September
From 18 August to 14 September, project plans can be submitted via the Maastricht Citizens’ Budget website. There you will find lots of information and tips.
If you need help, please contact the Citizens’ Budget Team by email at burgerbegroting@maastricht.nl or by telephone on 043 350 4747.
More information can be found in the attached brochure and on the Citizen Budget website.
