In May 2019, SVT reported on open drug use in the middle of Hammarkullen.
A worried mother wanted to move when she was worried about her daughter growing up in the unsafe environment.
Even then, Bostadsbolaget, which owns apartments in the city center, tried to access the problem.
New locks were installed on gates and basement storage and about ten cameras were set up in the area.
Today, the work continues to create a safer environment for the residents.
- We see that this is an important issue in our surveys, says Pär Gunnarsson who is one of two area managers at Bostadsbolaget in Hammarkullen.

Police: We see a positive development
SVT has previously reported on the police's challenges linked to the design of the million programs.
- We are very positive about Bostadsbolaget's refurbishment.
The research shows that if you have order and order, it contributes to security and makes it more difficult to commit crimes, says Fredrik Lennartsson, area manager for the local police in the Northeast.
Is there still drug trafficking in the springs in Hammarkullen?
- Not in the same way as before.
The development is positive thanks to the rearmament and our targeted police work towards certain addresses.
Part of a larger investment in particularly vulnerable areas
In November, SVT reported on the 11 billion project that the City of Gothenburg and Framtiden have started to remove the six particularly vulnerable areas on the police list.
The districts are Bergsjön, Biskopsgården, Hammarkullen, Hjällbo, Lövgärdet and Tynnered.
The investment and strategy focus on what the housing companies can do in the areas.
These include renovations of apartments, new construction, security hosts and better waste management.
