New decision saves nursing home - where everyone has already moved: "Very disrespectful"

When the advisory referendum was held in Tidaholm earlier this autumn, it was a landslide victory for the yes side.

83 percent of those who voted wanted to keep the Lindängen nursing home - despite the fact that the municipality had already moved all the residents in May.

It is now clear that the accommodation will reopen - because the municipal council had to raise the issue through the referendum.

The Social Welfare Board made a decision

The decision to move the residents to be able to close Lindängen's senior housing was made in the social welfare committee, where at the moment there was a majority who supported the proposal from (S) and (V) to save money.

But the red budget was then voted down and now there is a bourgeois municipal leadership in Tidaholm, which thus tears up the closure decision.

In May, the residents were moved before the referendum.

How good was it really?

- Not good at all, it was very disrespectful to the whole process, says Runo Johansson (L).
