Higher housing costs, electricity and fuel prices have led to many in Sweden experiencing tough economic times.
And this also in Staffantorps, according to Christian Sonesson.
- We have many pensioners.
We don't want them to have to choose between paying the electricity bill or the home care fee, he says.
"The municipality can handle this"
The decision means that no reminder fees will be sent to those who do not pay their invoices.
The municipality will also suspend debt collection and no cases will go to the Bailiff until April 30.
This applies to private individuals, but also some companies will be able to postpone their payments.
Doesn't the municipality lose any revenue from this?
- We have made the assessment that the municipality can handle this, says Christian Sonesson (M), municipal councillor.
