- Today we have 2114 names here, and then we know that we still have lists out there that are fully covered, but that we haven't received yet. We are going to land this and it feels fantastic, ”says Eva Holm, one of the initiators of the name gathering.

In Oskarshamn, there are 21,000 people who are entitled to vote and in order to obtain a referendum they need to bring ten percent or 2100 names. PRO will continue to collect names a few days to have a margin.

Close to the hand hygiene

- During the week will be outside some shops in Oskarshamn. I don't think the corona virus has affected our work, because we can stand outside and we have hand rubbing with us and take care of the hand hygiene carefully, ”says Eva Holm.

On Thursday, April 9, PRO will submit the lists to Stadshuset.

The housing will be closed down this fall

It was in November last year that the City Council decided to close down the two elderly homes because the Social Committee needs to save SEK 30 million.

The municipality's plan is to close the residences in Misterhult, which has a total of 14 locations, this fall. The older people will be offered a place on housing in the city where new housing is being built, but the decision has been met with dissatisfaction.

In the clip Eva Holm talks about why it is important to save the residents in Missterhult.
