SVT Nyheter Jönköping has previously reported on the homeowners living on the land that several surveys proved to be very toxic.
They have pushed the issue that the municipality should pay to redeem the properties, and last year they demanded Jönköping municipality for almost SEK 40 million.
But there was no damages then.
The municipality of Jönköping has previously said that they can not help homeowners to buy the properties because the municipality believes that the redevelopment is not their responsibility.
Dry cleaning contaminated the ground
Previously, a dry cleaning was conducted in what is now a residential area.
Property was demolished in 1975 and then the area was subdivided into residential plots.
But the dry cleaning left large amounts of toxins in the soil.
In 2015, the news came that the land was poisoned - so much so that the county administrative board grouped it as risk class-1, which in short means a great risk to human health and the environment.
No one in life who can be held accountable
According to the county administrative board, there is no longer an owner for the old dry cleaning in life who can be held accountable, and the municipality has previously claimed that the case is statute-barred and therefore does not want to buy out the properties.
In February last year, the news came that the municipality of Jönköping will pay for temporary replacement housing for the six homeowners who live closest to the pollution.
But the homeowners were disappointed with the news because they hoped that the municipality would redeem the plots.
But on Monday the message came.
Jönköping municipality will redeem the owners and demolish the houses.
The properties will now be most valued and the municipality will apply for a grant from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to be able to carry out the purchase of the houses and their demolition.
This can take up to a year.
