Ruud’s message seems to reach the party leaders. “What I saw is that citizens themselves are trying to regreen themselves, but that more is needed than just an impulse from the municipality. People also need help with maintenance, or at least advice,” says Roos van Tongerloo, the number ten of the PvdA in Utrecht. Also party leader of D66 Maarten Koning is enthusiastic after the bike ride. “We want different types of trees to be planted so that there is more diversity,” he says. “It is exactly that combination between greenery and well-being that we want,” said party leader Julia Kleinrensink of GroenLinks to the Kersentuin.
