For the coming years, the budget of the municipality of Lochem shows surpluses, which would mean that the municipality would have money left over. However, this is not a luxury because the council is busy working on new plans.
The budget states what the council of the municipality of Lochem will do. The council also presents a first step towards a thematic interpretation. The theme ‘climate and energy’ was developed first. A climate-neutral 2050, less energy consumption, climate change, a climate-proof public space and sustainability of municipal buildings affect residents, entrepreneurs, social organizations and the municipality.
“If we look ahead to the coming years, we can withstand a blow financially. Yet even in Lochem the trees do not grow to the sky and we have to make choices. This autumn we will provide further guidance on our choices. This will translate into significant investments in the coming years. Consider housing for refugees and displaced persons, the accommodations in Gorssel as well as the swimming pools in Almen and Gorssel and De Beemd,” says Councilor Lex de Goede.
The budget can be viewed via the budget app from October 6. The budget app is an interactive web application that makes it quick and easy to read the budget.
