Jette: transparency to improve, livestream under development

A transparency score to improve

Jette has 54,000 inhabitants and is led by Claire Vandevivere (Les Engagés) with a renewed Engagés-MR-Ecolo coalition. The municipality has the lowest transparency score among the 19 communes.

Transparency: 2 out of 6 criteria

The budget is published online and the mandate registry is accessible via the transparency page (attendance, remunerations). However, council minutes are only partially available, the livestream is being set up following a citizen petition (300+ signatures), and there is no Open Data portal or confirmed participation platform.

The livestream project

A citizen petition with over 300 signatures pushed the municipality to announce the upcoming implementation of council session livestreaming. Deployment is underway.

Recent developments

The Region issued a formal notice to Jette regarding the development of Avenue Broustin, a key structural road. The green parking zone has been extended to new neighbourhoods since February 2026.
