Video presentation De Lelylijn consultation

Monday, May 15, the results of the De Lelylijn consultation were presented.
This is the first time residents have been involved in infrastructure plans this early, normally there is room for participation only later in the process. The online consultation did not ask residents whether they are for or against the Lelylijn, but provided space to share preferences, concerns and ideas with the government. The consultation was commissioned by the De Lelylijn project team. This is a collaboration of the national government and the regional governments of the Northern Netherlands.

‘The ministry’s drawing board connected to 11,000 kitchen tables,’ said Niek Mouter of Populytics. Also speaking in this video retrospective are Ceciel and Eunice, consultation participants, Rene Paas, Commissioner of the King, and Vivianne Heijnen, State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management.
