What Gemeente Reimerswaal does

Gemeente Reimerswaal is a Dutch municipal government entity (gemeente) located in the province of Zeeland in the southwestern Netherlands, serving approximately six villages: Kruiningen (the administrative seat), Yerseke, Hansweert, Krabbendijke, Rilland, and Waarde. The municipality operates under the Dutch municipal law framework and is governed by a 17-seat gemeenteraad (municipal council), an executive college of mayor and aldermen, and public administration. As of 2026, the municipality is led by acting mayor Jan Luteijn following the departure of the previous incumbent, with a new coalition installed under the Bestuursakkoord 2026-2030 and a search underway for a crown-appointed burgemeester.

The municipality delivers a comprehensive suite of local government services including civil registration (births, marriages, deaths), passport and ID-card issuance, permits and licenses, waste management (via the Diftar differentiated tariff system and partnership with ZRD), social services and welfare support (partly through shared service GR de Bevelanden), spatial planning, infrastructure maintenance, public safety, and sustainability programs. Its digital infrastructure consists of a topic-based web portal (reimerswaal.nl), an online appointment booking system, DigiD-authenticated e-services, the Fixi citizen reporting platform, Notubiz council meeting livestreams, the ReimerswaalPraatMee participation platform, and ReadSpeaker accessibility integration. Non-digital channels include a physical gemeentehuis, telephone support, WhatsApp contact, and community events.

The municipality is funded through local taxes, provincial and national government grants, and user fees rather than commercial revenue. Notable recent initiatives include the launch of De Flex on-demand public transport (April 2026), the Diftar waste pricing system (January 2023), fiber optic rollout in Hansweert via partnership with GlasDraad (2024), the Textiel Race educational circular economy program (2024), and a floating solar park project at Kreekraksluizen with Rijksvastgoedbedrijf. The municipality has no private ownership, parent company, or commercial subsidiaries; it is a public sector administrative body.
