Paul stortte zich volledig op zijn werk als wethouder. Paul is een wethouder waar je op kunt bouwen en vertrouwen. Hij voert uit wat de raad hem opdraagt. Ook de taken die minder leuk waren. Maar dat kenmerkt Paul, hij staat voor zijn opdrachten. De fractie van D66 kijkt vol trots terug op de afgelopen periode en hetgeen wat is bereikt door toedoen van Paul. Overal ging Paul het gesprek aan met de sportverenigingen en met de schoolbesturen om op zoek te gaan naar mogelijkheden. En met succes.\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--50 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--18 wrapper__width-desktop--22 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<section class=\"block-post-content\">\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__title\">\n\t\t<h3 class=\"heading  heading__color--black heading__size--medium heading__font--sans heading__weight--semiBold  block-post-content__heading\" id=\"nav-sportstad-leiden3137\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Sportstad Leiden\">\n\tSportstad Leiden<\/h3>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__content\">\n\t\t\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--30 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--20  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--24 wrapper__width-mobile--24\">\n\t\t<p\n\t\tclass=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default   block-paragraph__paragraph\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tZijn ambitie was om Leiden als sportstad op de kaart zetten.

Zoals het nieuw, functionele en duurzame schoolgebouw van het Leonardo College aan de Telderskade. Ook lanceerde Paul een Onderwijskansenbeleid plan waardoor er fors wordt ge\u00efnvesteerd in talentontwikkeling in het onderwijs.

Ik kreeg van D66 het vertrouwen om als wethouder de stad waar mijn wieg stond te dienen. Vandaag ben ik klaar om deze verantwoordelijkheid over te dragen. Het was een grote eer en genoegen. Het gaf mij de kans om werk te maken van idee\u00ebn voor gelijkere kansen, voor meer impact door sport en bewegen en voor een gezondere en groenere stad.\u00a0Ik beschouw deze periode als de leukste in mijn werkzame leven tot nu toe. Daar ben ik dankbaar voor.\u00a0Ik wens mijn opvolgers net zo veel plezier en voldoening als ik heb mogen ervaren de afgelopen jaren.\u201d\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"block-post-content__sidebar\">\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div\n  id=\"\"\n  class=\"wrapper  wrapper__spacing-bottom-large--30 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--20  wrapper__gutter--none\"\n  >\n  \t<div class=\"wrapper__container wrapper__container-width-large--default\">\n\t  <div class=\"wrapper__inner wrapper__width-large--10 wrapper__width-desktop--22 wrapper__width-mobile--24 wrapper__offset-large--6 wrapper__offset-desktop--2 wrapper__offset-mobile--0\">\n\t\t<p\n\t\tclass=\"paragraph paragraph__align--left paragraph__color--black paragraph__size--default   block-paragraph__paragraph\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\tD66 wenst Paul veel plezier en succes in zijn leven \u2018na het College\u2019.<br>\u00a0<br>Paul, bedankt!\t<\/p>\t  <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":690,"featured_media":1961,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"search-tags":[12,26],"labels":[],"class_list":["post-1960","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-d66","search-tags-democratie-bestuur","search-tags-lokaal"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>D66 Leiden &#8212;
