Ik woon in Chaam en werk als buschauffeur. Op 1 mei vier ik mijn 40-jarig jubileum in het openbaar vervoer. Naast mijn werk heb ik mij jarenlang ingezet voor de vakbond en medezeggenschap binnen mijn organisatie.<br><br>Bij de komende gemeenteraadsverkiezingen stel ik mij kandidaat namens D66 Alphen-Chaam. Ik wil mij inzetten om onze gemeente nog aantrekkelijker te maken voor zowel nieuwe als bestaande inwoners en ondernemers, met individuele vrijheid als belangrijke pijler. Maar ik geloof dat echte vrijheid pas waarde krijgt binnen een sociale omgeving waarin we zorg dragen voor mensen die dreigen buiten de boot te vallen. Zij moeten kunnen rekenen op ondersteuning van de gemeente, organisaties en, niet te vergeten, hun directe omgeving.\u00a0<br><br>Mijn aandacht en inzet wil ik vooral richten op betaalbare woningen, het toekomstbestendig maken van onze natuur in samenwerking met boeren en tuinders, het cre\u00ebren van een veilige en prettige woonomgeving, \u00e9n zorgen voor een financieel gezonde gemeente. Speerpunten zijn voor mij onder andere het verbeteren van de verkeersveiligheid in onze dorpskernen (zoals het weren van vrachtverkeer in de kern van Chaam, de verkeerssituatie rondom het nieuwe kindcentrum, de kruising N260 met de Rielseweg en het cre\u00ebren van fietsstraten). Daarnaast zet ik me in voor het inventariseren van de woonbehoeften binnen onze gemeenschappen en wil ik samen met omwonenden en ondernemers werken aan een duurzaam buitengebied waar de natuur ruimte krijgt om te herstellen.<br><br>Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat dit mogelijk is als we naar elkaar luisteren, elkaar ondersteunen en samen de schouders eronder zetten. Met die overtuiging wil ik graag namens u een bijdrage leveren in de gemeenteraad.\t<\/p><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\t\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-3981323771\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Expertises (portefeuilles)\" aria-controls>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__heading\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"heading   heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-expertises--portefeuilles-3166\">\n\tExpertises (portefeuilles)<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t<\/button>\n\n\t<section id=\"content-accordion-panel-3981323771\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-3981323771\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\tIk ben sinds 1 mei 1986 werkzaam als buschauffeur in het OV.
