"In the municipality of Sölvesborg, it is only permitted to use fireworks and other pyrotechnics if you have a special permit.

In addition, you may only fire them if you are more than 100 meters from nursing homes."

So the municipality signed on Wednesday, just a few days before New Year's Eve.

Prior to this, the municipality had issued the wrong information to the residents – not once but twice.

"The above has been corrected twice from previous information".

"We apologize that the information was previously incorrect!" 

you write on the website.

The reason for the confusion is that the new rules, which the municipal council decided, have been appealed, but that the new rules apply until the appeal has been tried.
