Samenvoeging van de gemeenten Alphen aan den Rijn, Boskoop en Rijnwoude

This Dutch parliamentary bill would combine the municipalities of Alphen aan den Rijn, Boskoop and Rijnwoude into a single municipality. Municipal mergers in the Netherlands are formally enacted by national law, so the Tweede Kamer (House of Representatives) must approve the change. The procedure concerns local government boundaries and administration rather than EU policy. Residents of the three municipalities would fall under one local government, with a shared council, executive and set of local services. Local officials and public services in the affected areas would also be reorganised. The exact effects depend on the full bill, which is not reflected in this metadata.
