Gemeente Reusel-De Mierden

What Gemeente Reusel-De Mierden does

Gemeente Reusel-De Mierden is a municipal government entity (gemeente) located in the Kempen region of North Brabant, Netherlands, serving approximately 10,000 residents across four villages: Reusel, Hooge Mierde, Lage Mierde, and Hulsel. It delivers statutory local government services including civil registry, permits and licensing, waste management, social welfare, spatial planning, taxation, public safety, environmental services, and economic development. The municipality operates a digital services platform (www.reuseldemierden.nl) that integrates civic service modules including Loket Burgerzaken (civil affairs), Loket van A tot Z (social services portal), Omgevingsloket (permits and environmental planning), AfvalWijzer (waste calendar), the BuitenBeter app for public space issue reporting, Brabant Alert for emergency notifications, and the Klimaatadaptatie Dashboard for climate resilience information. Service delivery combines a physical municipal office at Kerkplein 3 in Reusel, appointment-based counters, digital self-serve platforms, and a regional Team Vergunningen Kempengemeenten unit shared with the municipalities of Eersel and Oirschot.

Funding comes from municipal taxes and levies including the waste levy (afvalstoffenheffing), sewerage levy (rioolheffing), tourist tax (toeristenbelasting), non-resident tax (forensenbelasting), administrative fees (leges), and allotment garden fees, supplemented by provincial and national government allocations. The organization has 51-100 employees and is governed by an elected municipal council, a college of mayor and aldermen led by Mayor Annemieke van de Ven with Aldermen Mathijs Kuijken, Frank Rombouts, and Maarten Maas, and Secretary Jean-Paul Ruyters. It is part of the Kempengemeenten regional collaboration with Eersel, Oirschot, Bladel, and Bergeijk, and participates in the Brainport regional economic development zone. In 2018 it was designated by the VNG as a pioneer municipality for inclusive policies under the manifest 'Iedereen doet mee!'

Core offering

Gemeente Reusel-De Mierden is a Dutch municipal government entity that delivers local public administration services to residents, businesses, and visitors of the Reusel-De Mierden area in North Brabant. Its core functions include civil affairs registration, waste and sewerage collection, building and environmental permits, tax and levy collection, social welfare support, spatial planning, public safety coordination, and economic development. The municipality operates physical service counters (Loket Burgerzaken, Loket van A tot Z), an online service portal, and participates in the regional Kempengemeenten partnership with neighboring municipalities.

Product overview

Gemeente Reusel-De Mierden operates a municipal services portal offering residents access to civic administration through a collection of interconnected service modules. The platform integrates digital service desks including Loket Burgerzaken (civil affairs), Loket van A tot Z (social services), and the Omgevingsloket (permits and environmental planning). Resident-facing tools include the AfvalWijzer waste calendar, BuitenBeter issue reporting, and Brabant Alert emergency notifications. The municipality also provides Bravoflex transport services, climate adaptation resources, and business park information through dedicated portals. The site functions as a comprehensive municipal government information hub rather than a unified software product, with services organized by life events and administrative functions.
