- We will move forward with this legally.

But in what form can our lawyers clarify, says Sofia Öreberg, community construction manager in Ystad.

Do not want to be interviewed

On the other side of the net in the infected battle is Fredrik Roxenius.

He is chairman of Nybrostrand's tennis club and until recently a leading moderate politician in Ystad.

In April, he left his political duties as, among other things, vice chairman of the social committee.

Roxenius does not want to be interviewed in front of the camera about the paddle courts, but in a post on social media he goes on the counterattack against the municipality.

He writes, among other things, that the municipality did not help find another place for the paddle courts.

"It's not true"

Sofia Öreberg firmly claims that this is not the case.

Prior to meetings with the club, the municipality has developed a number of possible locations, according to Öreberg.

- We have had maps with us with these places but they have not even been interested in looking at that issue with us, she says.

Today, three paddle courts are on public land in Nybrostrand, which by law must be accessible to everyone.

The club has had an agreement to play tennis there, but not paddle.

Two of the courses were built despite the municipality explicitly banning the club from building them.

New noise requirements

Neighbors have complained about the noise from the paddle playing.

This week, the Ystad-Österlen region's environmental association decided that the tennis club must take extensive measures, otherwise it is threatened with fines.

The neighbors who protested against the paddle courts do not dare to appear for interviews.

They say they have been subjected to harassment and slander.

However, many in Nybrostrand want to keep the courses.

- Why should we remove something that is good for us, for our health.

Should it be a mound of earth there instead of it happening to sound a little too much, villager Jonas Haraldsson asks himself.
