Regional retail vision for the Eindhoven urban area

The council adopts the "Regional Retail Vision for the Eindhoven Urban Area: From Quantity to Quality."

The previous Regional Retail Vision was adopted in 2015. Since then, much has changed in the retail sector. A thorough update of regional policy is therefore necessary.

Amendment to the Social Support Act (Wmo)

The council decides to amend Article 15 of the Son en Breugel Social Support Regulation 2020 in connection with the national indexation of the personal contribution under the Social Support Act (Wmo).

The Wmo (Social Support Act) stipulates a personal contribution for certain services. Since January 1, 2020, the personal contribution has been €19 per month. Due to indexation in line with general price increases and inflation, this personal contribution will be €20.60 per month as of January 1, 2024.
Because the amount of the personal contribution is specified in the regulation, it must be adjusted. To prevent such adjustments in the future, this amount will no longer be specified in the regulation.

  3. to adopt the eighth budget amendment for 2023.  

The construction of a pump track is included in the administrative agreement, and the political parties therefore wish to proceed with the realization of the pump track.
