Make Tytsjerksteradiel better? Give your idea a voice

Suppose you have an idea or plan to make Tytsjerksteradiel better. Then you can submit a citizens' initiative to the municipality.

A citizens' initiative is organized and executed for and by residents. Thus, we expect you to actively pursue your idea yourself.

Do you want to make your neighborhood or village better?

Perhaps you want to use your idea to change an existing situation? Or just start something new? The goal should be that it improves the living environment in your village or neighborhood and increases social contact. 

What happens if I submit my idea?

Then we will review your application and make an appointment. During this appointment we will look together at the next steps and how you can proceed.

We would love to hear what your plan is for a better Tytsjerksteradiel

Give your idea a voice
