In the municipality of Son en Breugel, several events take place annually. These include recurring events such as the annual market, carnival activities, the fair, the 'Liedertafelfestival', the ELE Rally, the Breugels Festijn, the Breugel Rommeldag, and the Oranjefeesten. The municipality of Son en Breugel established its event policy in 2005.
This year, the council has chosen to conduct a self-assessment (as a result of article 213a of the Municipalities Act) to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the implemented event policy. Various factors have led to this decision. Currently, there is insufficient visibility on the extent to which the granting and enforcement of permits comply with the quality standards set out in the policy. Additionally, there has been a significant increase in permit applications for events. Furthermore, events have gained more public attention due to incidents (such as in Utrecht, summer 2006). Systematic attention to the implementation of this policy will better prepare the municipality in case similar issues arise in Son en Breugel.
