He lives next door to Focushuset in Malmberget, which is currently being demolished due to the social transformation.

The demolition starts at 08 in the morning and lasts until 20 in the evening. 

"Impossible to fall asleep"

Folke was so disturbed by the noise that he was forced to change shifts.

- Yes, I had night shifts before but I could not work at night because I could not fall asleep when I got home at seven in the morning.

It was impossible to fall asleep before eight o'clock when the demolition work starts, he says.

Had preferred reverse order

He lives in a house that will also be demolished eventually and the tenants will move to a replacement house in Gällivare.

They have not received any information when it will be moved.

- It would have been better if they had emptied this house before they started demolishing the Focus hat, says Folke Isaksson Tjäder.

The mining giant's response when it's moved

According to LKAB, the tenants will receive a replacement house during the first quarter of 2022.

- We try to be as flexible as possible, but it takes a while to negotiate and build a new apartment building, says Kalle Eneris, project manager for the social transformation in Malmberget.
