DE VVD WIL ééN WATERSCHAP IN NOORD-BRABANT
De VVD fractie in de Staten van Brabant laten weer eens een ballonnetje op. Ze willen een onderzoek naar ‘de positieve en negatieve effecten van een eventuele fusie’. Nu ben ik reeds jaren in het waterschapsbestuur actief en heb al veel waterschapfusies meegemaakt.
Toen ik begin jaren negentig begon waren er nog 16 waterschappen in Noord-Brabant, nu nog 3 en een stukje waterschap Rivierenland het voormalige Alm en Biesbosch. Waterschappen hebben een enorm fusietraject doorlopen. Rond 1850 waren er in Nederland ongeveer 3500 waterschappen in 1950 nog circa 2500 en nu nog 22. Minder dan 1 % van het aantal in 1950! Recordhouder is het huidige waterschap Rivierenland dat 474 rechtsvoorgangers kent. Ook in het werkgebied van mijn eigen waterschap Brabantse Delta waren in 1950 nog meer dan 200 waterschapjes. Effect van al die fusies: een meer deskundige organisatie. De fusies waren tot op zekere hoogte ook nodig vanwege de toegenomen taken en de complexiteit daarvan.
Maar de fusies kenden ook een hoge prijs: minder betrokkenheid en gebiedskennis van de bestuurders. Het werden bestuurders op afstand. En nà 2008 vooral politieke bestuurders met vaak bitter weinig kennis over de voor het waterbeheer, in mijn ogen, benodigde (technische-) en gebiedskennis. Maar wat nog erger is, de passie voor het gebied en de bijzondere taken van waterschappen ontbreekt vaak bij politici. Besturen wordt leunen op de kennis van de ambtenaren in plaats van gebaseerd op de eigen kennis en betrokkenheid bij het gebied. De drie waterschappen werken, op de onderdelen dat het een toegevoegde waarde heeft, in termen van geld of kwaliteit, al jaren goed samen. Een fusie levert dan wel de genoemde nadelen op, maar nauwelijks een besparing.
De focus op de waterschappen verbaast mij ook. Kijk eens naar gemeenten. In 1850 waren dat er in Nederland nog circa 1240, in 1950 circa 1000 en nu nog 380. 38 % van het aantal in 1950! Zeeland ging van 113 gemeenten in 1850 naar 101 in 1950 naar 13 nu. 13 % van het aantal in 1950! Noord-Brabant ging van 143 gemeenten in 1950 naar 64 nu. Bijna 45 % van het aantal in 1950! Gezien die gemeentelijke cijfers had ik het veel logischer gevonden als de VVD fractie in de Staten van Brabant voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen hadden gevraagd naar ‘de positieve en negatieve effecten van een eventuele fusie’ van de huidige 64 gemeenten. Of gaan er dan teveel bestuurlijke VVD posten verloren?
Zelf ben ik niet z’n voorstander van verdere fusies. De afstand tot de burger wordt alsmaar groter en de kennis van het gebied of de dorpen of stad steeds kleiner. Nu zijn er gemeenten met tientallen dorpen. Ik zou daar nooit raadslid willen zijn. Het bijhouden van wat er leeft is dan, naar mijn inzicht, schier onmogelijk. Toen ik waterschapbestuurder werd van Zoomvliet was ik nog in staat op perceelniveau te weten wat er speelde of wie en hoe er geboerd werd of wat de natuurwaarden waren. Met de opschaling naar het Scheldekwartier werd dat al heel moeilijk, maar je kende de collega bestuurders in de buurt van een perceel nog. Met de komst van het waterschap Brabantse Delta (meer dan 170.000 hectaren groot, meer dan 800.000 inwoners, meer dan 8100 kilometer aan sloten, beken, rivieren in beheer en binnen 21 gemeenten werkzaam) is dat niet meer mogelijk. Dan is passie nodig en liefde voor de taken. In godsnaam: stop nu eens met het oplaten van ballonnen en laat de waterschappen hun werk doen, zodat het veiligheidsniveau, de leefbaarheid en de natuur die aandacht krijgen en houden die nodig is.

I am extremely impressed along with your writing skills as well as with the format on your blog. Is that this a paid topic or did you modify it your self? Anyway stay up the nice high quality writing, it is rare to look a nice weblog like this one today!

Hello! I could have sworn I’ve been to this site before but after browsing through some of the post I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely happy I found it and I’ll be book-marking and checking back frequently!
One thing I’ve noticed is the fact that there are plenty of misconceptions regarding the finance institutions intentions any time talking about property foreclosure. One fable in particular is the bank needs to have your house. The lender wants your money, not your property. They want the cash they lent you having interest. Keeping away from the bank will only draw a new foreclosed summary. Thanks for your publication.

Thanks for the recommendations on credit repair on your site. The thing I would offer as advice to people is usually to give up the actual mentality that they’ll buy now and pay back later. Like a society most of us tend to try this for many things. This includes family vacations, furniture, and items we would like. However, you need to separate the wants from the needs. When you’re working to boost your credit score make some trade-offs. For example you possibly can shop online to save cash or you can go to second hand outlets instead of expensive department stores with regard to clothing.
This website online is mostly a stroll-by way of for all of the information you needed about this and didn?t know who to ask. Glimpse here, and you?ll undoubtedly uncover it.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?

When I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any manner you possibly can take away me from that service? Thanks!

Exceptional post but I was wondering if you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very grateful if you could elaborate a little bit more. Many thanks!
Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any tips for first-time blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks for the recommendations shared using your blog. Yet another thing I would like to talk about is that fat loss is not exactly about going on a fad diet and trying to reduce as much weight as you’re able in a few days. The most effective way to lose weight naturally is by using it slowly and right after some basic recommendations which can make it easier to make the most from the attempt to slim down. You may be aware and already be following a few of these tips, however reinforcing awareness never does any damage.
Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your weblog? My website is in the very same niche as yours and my users would truly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Many thanks!

Thanks for the post. My partner and i have generally seen that a lot of people are eager to lose weight as they wish to appear slim in addition to looking attractive. Nonetheless, they do not constantly realize that there are other benefits to losing weight also. Doctors state that over weight people are afflicted by a variety of illnesses that can be perfectely attributed to their own excess weight. The good thing is that people who are overweight and also suffering from numerous diseases can reduce the severity of their illnesses by way of losing weight. You possibly can see a continuous but noticeable improvement with health as soon as even a bit of a amount of fat reduction is attained.

I have discovered some considerations through your website post. One other subject I would like to convey is that there are plenty of games out there designed especially for preschool age kids. They include pattern acknowledgement, colors, dogs, and forms. These generally focus on familiarization instead of memorization. This will keep children and kids engaged without experiencing like they are learning. Thanks
Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your design. Thanks a lot
