Emmily Talpe again candidate mayor in Ypres

At the same time, the politician also invites the inhabitants of Ypres for a walk.

“I look forward to these personal meetings and interesting chats about Ypres. Our residents are experts by experience and I would like to know how they see the future. I plan to include the input when drawing up our election program for 2024.

If the people of Ypres give me confidence again, I will remain mayor for the next legislature with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm,” says Emmily Talpe.

“Listening is crucial”

Mayor Emmily Talpe believes participation and listening are crucial for good governance of a city.

“I have always emphasized that anyone who has questions can always contact me or send an email. The threshold is low, especially with the current range of social media channels. We want, or rather must, be a board that listens and communicates.

This legislature we have uniquely organized a large residents’ survey ‘Kvraagetaan… de Ieperlingen’, but also many specific surveys for projects such as the new skate park or the reconstruction of Boezinge.

The response is great. The people of Ypres are clearly eager to give their opinion, which is great. I am therefore very curious what suggestions for Ypres will emerge during the walks!”
