Delft and Dalfsen municipal councils approve new policies and appoint officials

The Delft municipal council voted unanimously to adopt the 2026 Animal Welfare Note, rejecting several motions on subsidies for cat chip‑implanting and increased communication costs. The council also debated fat‑bike safety, dismissing a motion to map the issue while supporting a campaign for safer riding habits.

In Dalfsen, the council approved a new coalition agreement outlining priorities for housing, health, and livability, and appointed four new wethouders—Betsy Ramerman, Bert Rozendaal, André Schuurman, and Jan Uitslag—alongside mayor Michael Sijbom. A vacant council seat was filled by Jelle Hekman, marking the start of a new administrative period.
