Tielt is open to merging with neighboring municipalities Meulebeke and Pittem

During the city council, mayor Luc Vannieuwenhuyze clarified the current situation after the question from opposition council member Simon Germonpré (N-VA / Open VLD). He says that talks are underway with the neighboring municipalities of Meulebeke and Pittem. Tielt is also working on a management strength analysis in which the strengths and weaknesses of the city and the employees are analyzed. They will also examine how a merger can strengthen the city.

Mayor Vannieuwenhuyze is in favor of a merger, but is still cautiously awaiting the results of the study, which must be completed by spring. The opposition wants clarity in the near future: “We shouldn’t delay too long on this,” it sounds.
