The chairman of the municipal board, Torgny Lindau (PF), shares the residents' concerns about Perstorp's center.
He says that the municipality will, among other things, get a new business manager, but that it can be difficult for the municipality to provide support.
- It is difficult because we have to treat everyone equally.
One example is that at Christmas, Christmas presents were bought for municipal employees from only local shops.
In addition, all small businesses are given the opportunity to participate in our procurements within the framework of the Public Procurement Act, says the chairman of the municipal board, Torgny Lindau (PF).

Renovating in the center
The municipality also makes investments to contribute to increased trade in the city center.
- We are renovating the center building with new retail premises to contribute to increased well-being and trade there, he says.
Several residents testify for SVT Nyheter Helsingborg about a hollowed-out center where several important businesses are missing, including a bank and clothing stores.
