Starters en jonge gezinnen wijken vaak noodgedwongen uit naar een andere gemeente. Terwijl ouderen langer in hun huidige woning blijven, omdat er onvoldoende passende alternatieven zijn. Dit zet de leefbaarheid onder druk en leidt tot een vastlopende woningmarkt. Om dit in beweging te krijgen kiest D66 Westerwolde voor dorpsgerichte nieuwbouw, het versnellen van procedures en slim hergebruik van leegstaande panden. Ook wil de partij verzorgingsvoorzieningen uitbreiden en vernieuwen, met betaalbare zorg en passende woonvormen die aansluiten bij de wensen van ouderen. \u201cWonen in je eigen dorp moet weer kunnen,\u201d aldus Hoomoedt.\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-sterk-onderwijs-voor-ieder-kind3682\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Sterk onderwijs voor ieder kind\">\n\tSterk onderwijs voor ieder kind<\/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\tD66 staat voor gelijke kansen en dat begint bij een goede start. Kinderen en jongeren in Westerwolde moeten kunnen rekenen op goed onderwijs, passende begeleiding en een gemeente die oog heeft voor hun ontwikkeling. \u201cWesterwolde is de enige gemeente in Nederland die nog zelf als schoolbestuur functioneert. Dat is zo gegroeid en biedt kansen voor samenhang en nabijheid, maar het roept ook vragen op over bestuurlijke rolzuiverheid, professionaliteit en toekomstbestendigheid. Wat ons betreft is de vraag die we met elkaar moeten stellen: draagt dit bij aan goed, onafhankelijk en toekomstbestendig onderwijs in Westerwolde.\u201d D66 Westerwolde wil daarom dat de rol van de gemeente als schoolbestuur wordt ge\u00ebvalueerd. \u201cHet belang van de kinderen, ouders en onderwijspersoneel staat daarbij altijd voorop.\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--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--bold  block-post-content__heading\" id=\"nav-dorpen-waar-het-fijn-wonen-is8259\" data-nav-heading-mobile=\"Dorpen waar het fijn wonen is\">\n\tDorpen waar het fijn wonen is<\/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\tWesterwolde is een gemeente met veel ruimte en natuur, met een rijk verenigingsleven en tal van dorpsinitiatieven. Met veel dorpen en kernen, allemaal met hun eigen karakter. D66 wil aandacht voor alle dorpen en kernen, met oplossingen en acties die aansluiten bij wat nodig is. Van voldoende openbaar vervoervoorzieningen en goede fietspaden tot plekken om elkaar te ontmoeten. Hoomoedt: \u201cVerenigingen zijn essentieel als het gaat om fijn wonen. De gemeente moet verenigingen in de gemeente ondersteunen, samenwerking bevorderen en waar nodig financi\u00eble middelen beschikbaar te stellen.\u201d Om de veiligheid te verbeteren moet overlast en criminaliteit sneller en strenger worden aangepakt. \u201cDe situatie rond het aanmeldcentrum in Ter Apel is te lang genegeerd door het Rijk.
