In the middle of January, the politicians in the municipal board will have an extra meeting to decide that the citizens of Trelleborg will be able to have a deferment with payments for, among other things, home care and childcare, which Trelleborgs Allehanda was the first to tell about.

- Everyone who has any municipal service should have this opportunity.

We will see if we can also do something for the companies, says Ann Kajson Carlqvist (M), chairman of the municipal board.

She says that the political leadership was inspired by Staffanstorp, who made a similar decision at the end of December.

Help survive the winter

- This can help if you have high electricity bills in December to February, says Christian Sonesson (M), chairman of the municipal board in Staffanstorp.

In his municipality, the offer of deferment with the payments must apply until the end of April.

In Trelleborg, Ann Kajson Carlqvist talks about six months, that is until the summer.

- I don't think it's good because you postpone the problem.

You always have to do the right thing for yourself, so it can be double what you have to pay in May-June, and if you can't make it now, you won't make it later, says Lolou Olsson, who lives in Trelleborg.
