It was in June that the municipal council in Skurup decided on changes to the local ordinance. It was to be written there that it was forbidden to beg in certain public places in the municipality.

But now the county administrative board in Skåne has revoked parts of the decision, as they are considered to be in violation of the Public Order Act, the newspaper writes.

Street music allowed

People who want to perform a musical work may have a jar where the audience can make a contribution. It is not considered active fundraising, according to the county administrative board.

The County Administrative Board, on the other hand, has nothing against the begging ban as a whole.

SVT Nyheter is looking for municipal councilor Johan Bolinder (M) for a comment.
