Na de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen kozen acht partijen in de Velsense gemeenteraad ervoor om samen te werken aan een breed raadsakkoord en een gezamenlijk raadsprogramma. Daarin zijn afspraken gemaakt over de manier waarop raad en college de komende jaren samenwerken en over de belangrijkste ambities voor Velsen.<br><br>In de laatste fase van de formatie trad Cynthia Creveld op als formateur. Zij presenteerde de kandidaten voor het nieuwe college, waaronder Sander Smeets namens D66Velsen. Met zijn herbenoeming kan Sander voortbouwen op zijn eerste vier jaar als wethouder en verder werken aan de ambities voor Velsen.<br><br>\u201cHet is een enorme eer om opnieuw wethouder te mogen zijn van de gemeente waar ik me al jaren met veel plezier voor inzet. De afgelopen vier jaar hebben we mooie stappen kunnen zetten, maar er ligt ook nog genoeg werk voor ons. We hebben de afgelopen periode laten zien dat partijen vanuit verschillende achtergronden samen tot ambitieuze plannen voor Velsen kunnen komen. Ik kijk ernaar uit om daar de komende jaren vanuit het college concreet mee aan de slag te gaan\u201d, aldus Smeets.\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--20 wrapper__spacing-bottom-desktop--10 wrapper__spacing-bottom-mobile--10  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--bold  block-post-content__heading\" id=\"nav-justus-weustink-benoemd-tot-raadslid4586\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Justus Weustink benoemd tot raadslid\">\n\tJustus Weustink benoemd tot raadslid<\/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\tMet de benoeming van Sander tot wethouder komt zijn plek in de gemeenteraad vrij.
