Hässleholm council criticized over failing Kollingedammarna dam repairs
Residents of Tyringe have warned that the historic Kollingedammarna pond has deteriorated to the point that water levels have dropped dramatically. Liberal politician Ferid Vänerklint alleges that the Hässleholm municipal council, led by municipal councilor Joakim Karlsson (M), has offered legal excuses instead of action, claiming the lack of a water permit makes repairs an environmental crime.
The Swedish County Administrative Board (Länsstyrelsen) disputes this, stating that a new water permit is not required for urgent maintenance. Liberals are demanding that the council immediately clarify the legal situation with the County Administrative Board and present a concrete rescue plan for Kollingedammarna.
