In the car parks at Överby shopping center, most car meetings have taken place on several occasions in recent times.

Something that led to large crowds with up to 1,000 participants, according to the city of Trollhättan.

- This problem with big car hits has been around for a while.

A lot of people in a limited area and not keeping your distance, often combined with alcohol intake, is not good from an infection point of view, he says Martin Svedberg.

It was on Monday that the municipal council decided that the municipal board should have the opportunity to make a decision on a stay ban, which the city of Trollhättan has now done on Thursday evening.

Valid for four weeks

The residence ban on Överby shopping center's car parks applies on Fridays and Saturdays between 23.15 and 06 from 30 April and four weeks onwards.

It is the Infection Control Unit in Västra Götaland and the Public Health Agency that granted the City of Trollhättan's application.

- Will want to avoid large crowds to reduce the spread of infection and I think the public understands this measure, says Paul Åkerlund, chairman of the municipal board.
