What Gemeente Lingewaard does

Gemeente Lingewaard is a Dutch municipality (gemeente) located in the province of Gelderland, headquartered at Kinkelenburglaan 6 in Bemmel. Formed in 2001, it provides full-stack municipal governance and public services to approximately 50,000 residents across seven villages: Angeren, Bemmel, Doornenburg, Gendt, Haalderen, Huissen, and Ressen. Service scope includes identity documents, passports, driver's licenses, birth and marriage registration, permits and licenses, waste management, spatial planning under the Omgevingswet, social welfare administration (WMO, youth care, income support), public safety, road and infrastructure maintenance, event permitting, and economic development for local businesses including the agricultural and glastuinbouw sectors.

The municipality operates an integrated digital services ecosystem centered on three platforms: Mijn Lingewaard (an online citizen portal for service requests and appointment booking), the InLingewaard mobile application (delivering project updates, road closures, and construction information), and Samen Lingewaard (an online participation platform for citizen engagement in municipal planning). These connect to national infrastructure including the Melvin traffic management system and BouwApp for construction project updates. Supporting tools include the Afvalwijzer waste calendar application and online appointment booking. Communications span a main website, printed Gemeente Nieuws newspaper, four social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, WhatsApp), and a three-episode podcast series targeting voter engagement.

As a public sector entity, Gemeente Lingewaard is funded through local taxes (OZB property tax, waste tax, sewer charges), national government allocations, and service fees (leges) for permits and administrative actions. Governance is exercised by a 29-seat municipal council (gemeenteraad), with executive authority held by a mayor (Burgemeester) and four aldermen (Wethouders). Following the 18 March 2026 municipal elections, a new four-party coalition (VVD, LBL, L.NU/B06, D66) was formed under the name 'Samen voor Lingewaard' for the 2026-2030 term.
