In Tilburg, no one is left behind. We are committed to reducing poverty and supporting residents so they can fully participate in society. This means investing in what truly works, reducing bureaucracy and restoring trust. We provide targeted support, opportunities to move forward, and a municipality that stands alongside its residents. Together, we are building a city with prospects for everyone.

Housing is a fundamental right, yet the housing shortage is a major challenge everywhere. The pressure is not only on the number of homes available, but also on the costs of rent, mortgages and energy bills. Even people looking to move within the housing market face difficulties due to limited supply. Cities and villages must therefore grow while maintaining or improving quality of life. That is complex, but we believe it is possible.

Small and medium sized enterprises are the engine of our local economy. Entrepreneurs not only create jobs and contribute to a diverse retail landscape, but also help build a vibrant city by supporting associations and sports clubs. We want Tilburg’s entrepreneurs to have the space to operate sustainably and responsibly. By working closely with SMEs, we are building a stronger Tilburg where economic growth goes hand in hand with social responsibility and sustainability.

Volt believes that a strong democracy depends on the active involvement of residents. Governments and politicians must listen to citizens, and residents must have real influence over decisions that affect them. By organising citizens’ assemblies and fostering an open attitude within government, we can strengthen trust between the municipality and its residents. Together, we can build municipalities where everyone has the opportunity to make their voice heard and where decisions are clear and workable. A democracy with equal opportunities for all forms the foundation of a healthy society.

Volt stands for a world that is closely connected as one. That is why it is essential that the municipal network of roads, railways and waterways connects effectively to the rest of the Netherlands and Europe. By innovating and investing in new technologies and transport solutions, we aim to reduce travel times. Well connected cycling infrastructure and energy efficient roads are equally important.
