Three levels of government each decide on their own topics.
Your municipality
The municipal council and the mayor and aldermen decide on matters such as streets, waste collection, sports halls, libraries and the public social welfare centre.
We do not show municipal council decisions yet: there is no open data for all municipalities yet.
Walloon Parliament
The Walloon Parliament decides on matters such as housing, mobility, the environment, the economy and child benefit.
The Parliament of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation decides on education and culture. We do not follow it yet.
What did the municipal council decide?
For municipalities in Wallonia and Brussels there is no shared open source yet for municipal council decisions. You can find them on your municipality’s website.

Subsidies for organisations from Herstal
In 2025, 36 organisations from Herstal received a total of € 37.6 million in subsidies.
The municipal administration itself often also receives subsidies from higher levels of government. Self-employed people and other individuals are not counted here.
These are the larger public contracts of public bodies with their address in this municipality: the municipality itself, but also, for example, a hospital, a school or a ministry.
In 2026, they awarded 11 contracts, worth € 16.9 million in total.
