Home in Eindhoven
CDA Eindhoven will work in the coming years on making Eindhoven
financially healthy again, better accessible and safe. To make
Eindhoven a city where everyone feels at home. A city where we can
live affordably, happily and with respect for each other’s values
and beliefs. We will fight for a sustainable city that we can pass
on to our children!
CDA. Home in Eindhoven.
SafetyThroughout the years Eindhoven has become a‘big
International city’. Unfortunately Eindhoven also faces the
problems which all big cities have.In the last years our city has
been in the top 3of the AD crime index. A safe communityrequires us
to take hard measures. In order to make Eindhoven safer, we need
more local police officers. The CDA wants to facilitate
“NeighborhoodWatch Teams”, neighborhood-based teams, in order to
involve communities in problem solving and crime prevention.

AccessibilityEindhoven is a city to be proud of. We are the
fifth largest city in the country and our region is growingfast
economically. To keep it this way, Eindhovenmust remain accessible.
Important roads such as theVestdijk, crucial in making Eindhoven
accessible bycar, cannot be closed. The (high)ways around Eindhoven
must facilitatequick accessibility. Public transport must be
mademore affordable. The CDA wants the construction of 4 large
parking and ride lots (P+R’s) around the city where peoplecan park
their cars and then travel to the city center by public transport.
This way we keep Eindhoven livable, sustainable and accessible.
Sterke samenlevingStrong communityMany people have good ideas
how to make theirneighborhood a better place and how to make this
happen. Unfortunately, most of them hit a wall of bureaucracy at
the municipality. Citizens, for instance, must start up an
association to fill in a form for a neighborhoodbudget.
The municipality has to become a stimulating factor instead of
an obstacle. Where matters might be arranged at neighborhood level,
we want to give the citizens the opportunity to take
self-initiatives.
Eerlijke economieValues & traditionsEindhoven is the city of
innovation and design.But we do not forget that Eindhoven is
morethan just that. Eindhoven has a rich history, that the CDA
wants to make visible in a city-museum. Values and traditions are
essential in keeping a community together. The municipality
shouldsupport activities which are aimed at bringing groups of
different backgrounds together and which make connections between
people. That’swhy sports must be available for all people livingin
Eindhoven. We want to reverse the budgetcuts made in recreational
sports. Together weare Eindhoven.
Zorg voor elkaarCare for each otherWe take care with and for
each other. The starting point is the personal strength and
dignityof people. Patients go First. The CDA wants to strengthen
home and community care. As the population ages this is an
important matter. Care-organizations have to be efficient;
professional care and support has to meet thewishes of people. This
however must remainmanageable, therefore informal carers must
bewell supported from the municipality. Therefore,daycare and
respite care must be well organized to make sure that informal
carershave time to take a step back and relax from time to
time.
