Deinze, Sint Niklaas and Herzele sign the European Charter on Participatory Democracy
On the 3rd of October, 2018, in Gent the 3 municipalities of Deinze, Herzele and Sint-Niklaas signed the European Charter on Participatory Democracy published by the ECTP-CEU.
Mrs Martine Verhoeve, deputy of spatial planning of the Province of East Flanders already signed the document on March 1st 2018, calling on other East Flemish authorities to do the same.
The Province is pleased these three East Flemish authorities have also embedded the practice of civil participation into their policy. It’s a clear sign that collaborating by participation is a very constructive way to reach many satisfactory goals, because you don’t make plans on your own.
The province definitely hopes that other municipalities from the Region will follow and also engage by signing the European Council of Spatial Planning's Charter.
