Henk Zomerdijk


H.J. (Henk) Zomerdijk (December 12, 1948) is a Dutch politician of the VVD.

He was an elder in Moordrecht before he was appointed Mayor of the then Gelderse municipality of Echteld in August 1988. In February 1995 he landed in the news when he commissioned the Mayor to the emergency evacuation of the town of Ochten belonging to that municipality. This was necessary in connection with an imminent dike breakthrough during extremely high water in the Waal.

In the summer of 2000 his appointment went to Mayor of Duiven. On December 1, 2013, he returned from his position after announcing it a few months in advance.
