Mijn uitgangspunt is toekomstgericht denken: ik geloof in duurzame oplossingen voor nu maar zeker ook voor later.<br>\u00a0<br>Binnen de commissie Omgeving houd ik mij bezig met ruimtelijke ordening. Dat gaat over de vraag hoe we wonen, werken en natuur op een slimme manier kunnen combineren binnen de beperkte ruimte die we hebben. <\/strong><\/p>\t\t<div class=\"block-video-hero__buttons-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-video-hero__media\">\n\t\t<div\n\t\t\tclass=\"block-video-hero__video-wrapper\"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/media.d66.nl\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/07\/rik-bongaards.jpg')\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-video-hero__caption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-video-hero__caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--small paragraph__weight--medium\">\n\t\tBeeld: Rik Bongaards\t<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper wrapper__spacing-top-large--60 wrapper__spacing-top-mobile--20 wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--20 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--70 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--50  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--19 wrapper__width-desktop--24 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--3 wrapper__offset-desktop--0 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<section class=\"block-people-introduction\">\n\t<div class=\"block-people-introduction__content\">\n\t\t<p class=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--big\">\n\t\tIk benader vraagstukken analytisch en zorgvuldig\t<\/p><section class=\"people-bullet-point-card block-people-introduction__people-bullet-point-card\" style=\"--bg-color: var(--global-colors-yellow)\">\n\t<div class=\"people-bullet-point-card__wrapper\">\n\t\t<div class=\"people-bullet-point-card__title\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"heading    heading__font--sans heading__weight--bold\" id=\"nav-over-rik2155\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Over Rik\">\n\tOver Rik<\/h2>\t\t\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"people-bullet-point-card__border\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"people-bullet-point-card__info\">\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"lists\">\n\t\t\t\t<li><label>Leeftijd<\/label><span>37 jaar<\/span><\/li>\t\t\t\t<li><label>Geboorteplaats<\/label><span>Boxmeer<\/span><\/li>\t\t\t\t<li><label>Woonplaats<\/label><span>Boxmeer<\/span><\/li>\t\t\t\t<li><label>Voornaamwoorden<\/label><span>Hij\/hem<\/span><\/li>\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section><p class=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default\">\n\t\t<strong style=\"font-weight:500;line-height:28px\">E\u00e9n van de grootste uitdagingen in onze gemeente is het tekort aan betaalbare woningen. Dit onderwerp heeft dan ook nadrukkelijk mijn focus.Tegelijkertijd vind ik leefbaarheid in onze dorpen ook belangrijk. Ik ben deels opgegroeid in het dorp Ledeacker, waar in de loop der jaren veel voorzieningen zijn verdwenen. Mede daardoor ben ik later naar Boxmeer verhuisd.<br><br>Deze persoonlijke ervaring motiveert mij om mij in te zetten voor vitale dorpen, zodat inwoners die dat willen ook in hun eigen kern kunnen blijven wonen. Binnen de commissie Omgeving zijn er vele procedures en afwegingen die niet meteen makkelijk te beheersen zijn. Gelukkig heb ik dan ook een ervaren commissielid Omgeving naast mij zitten in de vorm van\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/d66.nl\/landvancuijk\/mensen\/jaap-wind\/\">Jaap Wind<\/a>.<\/strong><br><br>In het dagelijks leven werk ik als chemisch-fysisch analist in een laboratorium. Die achtergrond zorgt ervoor dat ik vraagstukken analytisch en zorgvuldig benader. Het commissiewerk vormt daarbij een interessante aanvulling: waar ik in het lab werk met feiten en metingen, draait het in de politiek om het afwegen van belangen en het maken van keuzes. Juist die combinatie spreekt mij aan en helpt mij om de gemeente Land van Cuijk nog iets mooier te maken dan deze al is.\t<\/p><div class=\"content-accordion js-content-accordion\" data-accordion-opened=\"0\">\n\n\t\n\t<button id=\"content-accordion-trigger-3939118995\" class=\"content-accordion__trigger js-content-accordion-trigger\" aria-label=\"Functie historie\" 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-functie-historie2355\">\n\tFunctie historie<\/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-3939118995\" class=\"content-accordion__panel js-content-accordion-panel\" aria-hidden=\"true\" aria-labelledby=\"content-accordion-trigger-3939118995\">\n\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"content-accordion__description\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"content-accordion lists content-accordion__lists lists__weight--medium lists__color--black lists__type--default\"><li><label>2024-heden<\/label><span>Commissielid <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\t<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"content-accordion__border\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1758,"featured_media":1563,"menu_order":0,"template":"","search-tags":[33,31,36,40],"labels":[],"division-tags":[28],"class_list":["post-634","people-type","type-people-type","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","search-tags-boxmeer","search-tags-commissielid","search-tags-kieslijst","search-tags-positie-4","division-tags-commissielid"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Land van Cuijk &#8211;
