One new face this afternoon was Michaël Vannieuwenhuyze, the new mayor of Harelbeke. He wants to make a difference by placing other accents: being easily approachable and working neighborhood -oriented. “Many mayors are likely to say: investing in the city and realizing projects. We certainly want to do that too. But I also want to connect people with each other and make the Harelbekenaar more proud of his own city. I think this is one of our spearheads. “
The mayors of Ichtegem, Pittem and Oostrozebeke also took the oath today.
