Residents of Rönnöfors village in Krokoms kommun are fighting back against Trafikverket's decision to remove street lighting through their community. According to local reports, villagers have filed multiple appeals and complaints, arguing that the removal would compromise traffic safety. Monica Johannesson and Staffan Lundkvist, members of Rönnöfors lysförening and byalag, have reportedly submitted a bundle of documents including a complaint to the Parliamentary Ombudsman (JO-anmälan), an appeal to Trafikverket, and correspondence from the infrastructure minister.
The villagers contend that 'nothing has changed in Rönnöfors by that would mean the need for traffic safety has ceased - quite the opposite,' according to their appeal to the county administrative board. The dispute highlights tensions between infrastructure management decisions and local community safety concerns in rural areas.
