    From polling station to Kieswijzer: everything about the Provincial Council elections in The Hague

    No Comments
    from-polling-station-to-kieswijzer:-everything-about-the-provincial-council-elections-in-the-hague

    The roads around The Hague, the nearby nature reserves and the theatres; just a few parts that (partly) fall under the responsibility of the province of South Holland. On Wednesday March are the Provincial Council Elections.

    Don’t you know what these elections entail, who you can vote for and where you can cast your vote? Here you can read all the info!

    What are the Provincial Council elections?

    The Provincial Council Elections are perhaps the least known elections in the Netherlands. Therefore, first a brief explanation about the Provincial Council.

    You can compare the provincial elections to the municipal elections of 2022, but at the provincial level. Every province in the Netherlands has its own board. In the Provincial Council elections, you – together with the rest of the South Hollanders – choose the members of the Provincial Council.

    Tasks of the province of South Holland

    The members of the Provincial Council…

  • … are the people’s representatives of the province. They determine the policy of the province of South Holland. A hypothetical example: the members decide whether The Hague can build outside the city limits to combat the housing crisis and where in the city a business park can be built.
  • … elect and control the Provincial Executive. That is the day-to-day management of the province.
  • … are elected by the members of the Senate.

    You can read more about the tasks of the Provincial Councilors on the website of the Central government

    • .

    What did the province spend money on in recent years?

    It may seem obvious, but all tasks that the province carries out cost money. There is a jar for nature maintenance, the cultural sector, and so on.

    This is where the money from the province of South Holland went

    It differs per province how much money goes to each component. It is striking for the province of South Holland that 2021 was spent the most on ‘traffic’. It turned out to be 21 euros per inhabitant of the province. ‘Public transport’ was also high on the agenda; here was 21 euro per inhabitant paid in 640. That is exactly the same as for ‘administration/administration’.

    You can read more about the expenditure of South Holland here:

    These issues play a role in South Holland

    In South Holland there are many issues that need to be decided. Think of traffic and transport, the environment, a safe living environment, but also employment, tourism and the reception and accommodation of asylum seekers and labor migrants.

    Accessibility and transportation

    93551483If you fill in the electoral guide, you will come across statements about the accessibility of our province. For example, there are different opinions about investing in public transport at night. Other parties want to spend money on new roads. Rotterdam The Hague Airport is also high on the agenda. According to some parties, the airport should be closed because of the nuisance and CO2 emissions. Others consider the airport to be of great value to the province.

    mapped:-this-is-how-the-province-of-south-holland-spends-your-money

    Maybe you have an idea what the municipality of The Hague can arrange for you, but do you also know what the province does? The province is (partially) responsible for many tasks in The Hague, such as public transport, traffic and nature. Of course that all costs money, but what are the amounts involved?

    The province has many tasks. Think of the construction of roads in South Holland, but also the conservation of nature. In addition, the province helps (financially) in the cultural sector and public transport.

    The province of South Holland spends the most money on this

      It differs per province how much money goes to each component. For the province of South Holland it is striking that in 2021 was spent the most on ‘traffic’. It turned out to be 33 euros per resident of the province. ‘Public transport’ was also high on the agenda; here was 33 euros per resident to paid in 33. That is exactly the same as for ‘administration/management’.

      This is how much the province spent per capita on each component:

        • Public transport: 49 euros.
      • Traffic: 200 euros.
    • Nature: 33 euros.

  • Board/administration: 33 euros.
  • Regional economy: 33 euros.

    Environment/water: 33 euros.

    • Culture: 7 euros. Space: 9 euros.

    That province of South Holland has a different choice es makes up other provinces, as you can see when you look at the map below. For example, you see that the province of Drenthe spends a lot more per inhabitant than South Holland.

    The number of municipalities collecting dog tax has fallen sharply in recent years . In 2021 there was a citizens’ initiative to completely abolish the dog tax. According to the initiators, dog tax is often used for other purposes, such as the maintenance of parks.

    Good, so two hundred thousand euros. What can you buy of that in The Hague? At the time of writing, there are quite a few homes for sale on Funda that fall within this budget. It concerns both single-family homes and apartments and most homes are larger than 50 square meter. if your income is less than the average and you can therefore borrow less, you also have a lot less choice in The Hague.

    Do you often travel by bus? There is another strike in The Hague

    do-you-often-travel-by-bus?-there-is-another-strike-in-the-hague

    Hagenaars who depend on public transport may get into trouble this week. The employees of the regional transport are on strike again, this time on Wednesday 11 February and Friday 24 February.

    Due to the strike, your trip to Hoek van Holland or Delft may be different than planned. The bus may be canceled due to the strike. Not only employees of Arriva and Connexxion are participating in the strike, but also those of other carriers such as Keolis, Qbuzz, Bravo, Hermes, Breng, Overal and OV region IJsselmond.

    Strike end of February

    The actions on Wednesday and Friday are ‘the first of a new series of strikes’, the unions say. If there are new strikes, they will be at least 48 hours in advance, the unions report.

    Good to know: if you want to take the tram or train from The Hague to Delft, you will not be affected by the promotions. This is because those employees fall under a different collective labor agreement. So they are not participating in the strike.

    That’s why the bus drivers are on strike

    The activists are on strike for two days to enforce a better collective labor agreement. According to them, the workload is too high and the wages are too low. It’s not the first time they’ve done this; there have been several strikes in recent times.
