Last week, the local council decided to investigate the possibility of building four temporary modular houses on the municipality's property Näktergalen 1. The site is undeveloped and used as a parking lot. Next to the property is a preschool.

- I see no problem with that. The preschool is fenced and there are staff there, there is no natural interaction with these people. In addition, there are people who already exist in the area, says Anneli Bengtsson (S), chair of the local council.

At the same time, the municipality wants to build group housing for people with disabilities. In a service report from the social service, people with disabilities are raised as a priority group. The need for own housing has increased.

- Children and young people are growing and in the end they need their own housing and it is obvious that we will ensure that there are the right housing in the municipality for the needy, says Anneli Bengtsson.

Now the matter will be investigated, even by the municipality-owned company Vingåkershem, where and when the group housing can be built. The final decision is then made by the City Council.
