“We have a strategic plan. It’s called ‘doing things’.”

Herb Kelleher, Southwest Airlines CEO and Founder
What does this table represent, and how should it be interpreted ?

The purpose of this list, which will be updated as projects advance, is to give you an overview of what the councilors and the administration are doing on your behalf. It does not, of course, cover every detail of the daily routine of the commune (services to the population, building permits, general maintenance of green spaces, administrative and financial monitoring, etc.). As promised, we will be transparent about things and also publish what is not going so well. We will thus be able to put things right by adjusting our priorities if necessary.

Current and future economic circumstances will force us to make choices, based on your priorities but also on those dictated by the current environment in which we operate. Here again, we believe that this table allows you to follow what has been accomplished as well as work still in progress, planned or postponed.

The projects mentioned in this list are mainly based on the official multiannual planning exercise (2020-2025) and on the Pro-Kraainem – Kraainem-Unie political program. It also includes issues that have arisen during our current term in office, such as Covid-related measures, which we could have done without, the redevelopment of the 4-Bras crossroads on the ring, etc.. This list is not exhaustive and should be seen as a basic monitoring tool for keeping track of how we are doing in implementing policy on your behalf. It is not an official document of the municipality of Kraainem.

This list will, in time, also include some financial and other information on the projects mentioned (such as general context, what is at stake, the reasons for the choices made, etc.)
