Lokale Politieke Partij Slydregt.NU Criticizes College's Response

Critique on Beantwoording of Wmo-Sport Traject Powerful Ageing

De lokale politieke partij is niet te spreken over de beantwoording op vragen over het Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo-)sporttraject Powerful Ageing door het College van B & W. The faction received the response on Friday, February 21, 2025.

Empathy Lacking in College's Answers

According to burgerraadslid Danny Stierman (Slydregt.NU), the response did not show enough empathy for the participants of the sports program who raised concerns. They noted a lack of empathy in the answers provided by the College.

Focus on Elderly Mobility and Fitness

The approach by the Sociale Dienst Drechtsteden (SDD) aims to enhance mobility and fitness of older individuals through various training activities. The importance of maintaining physical ability for daily tasks like household chores is highlighted.

Individualized Support and Criteria

The College emphasized the need for tailor-made support for participants who may discontinue the program. Criteria for eligibility and alternative solutions were outlined to ensure appropriate assistance.

Call for Evaluation and Action

Slydregt.NU plans to present a motion during the upcoming council meeting to evaluate and potentially terminate the Powerful Ageing pilot program. The delayed response from the College has led to dissatisfaction among the local political party.
