The lighting network in the city of Örebro and the surrounding area is ancient and there is a lack of money to make the necessary refurbishment.

The 5-7 people who work with repairing broken lighting are also fully booked, so it is perhaps not so strange that in some places it is dark.

Must not be carbon black

- It is clear that many feel insecure if it is dark in some places, says Johanna Sollerman at Örebro Crime Prevention Council.

But it does not have to be carbon black for it to signal a feeling of carelessness and clutter.

- We want it to be orderly and nice to be safe and above all we want it to be other people on the move, and it is in places that are illuminated and nice, she continues.

Also lit in the summer

Malin Carlsson at City Örebro, who represents the retailers in the city center, has the same experience of lighting as both security and well-being.

- During the summer, we tested having the lighting on on Järntorget, something that normally only happens during the dark half of the year.

There, many who have their businesses experienced how it increased well-being and became more convivial while many felt safer, she says.

Many of the street lights along Drottninggatan are out of order.

Up in the north by Svampen it is carbon black.

You pull yourself together to go out and walk the dog in the evenings.

Then it is not just residents here who react!

Does it work better in Västerås then?

Landbotorpsallén is also covered a long way.

Answer to Åsa: that all faults are due to cables in the ground, is not correct in many cases.

That money is needed for repairs is a fact, not just my opinion.

The Alliance has reduced taxes enormously more than any left-wing government.

Thus, there is no money for things like this.

The asphalting has never been as neglected as after the time of the Alliance.

Jonas

It is true that not everything depends on cables in the ground - luminaires and poles must also be replaced.

When it comes to who is to blame for what financially, I think you can turn it around a lot.

It is clear that today 450 million would be needed to replace the necessary and these are sums that are far from what is budgeted right now.

Hey!

Lives in Stora Mellösa.

There, 2 of 3 lamps are off in the area where the lamps have been changed to LED lamps.

Risk of someone stumbling where sidewalks and sidewalks have not been maintained.

Have pointed this out to the municipality, but nothing happens.

Thanks!

Hello again !

The intersection towards Laxå where roads 205 and 204 meet just outside Svartå Manor is affected by an accident would need to be lit up


/ Thank you

Ronny

We include it in the list of possible follow-ups, even though we are currently focusing on lighting that is available but for various reasons is not repaired !!

There is a lot of focus on Örebro, do not forget the countryside.

There are taxpayers here too!

Ronny

That's right Ronny!

If there is a place outside the city where it is dark that you want to recommend, we are happy to accept !!
