Parents accuse Borlänge municipality of foul play over new preschool

Plans for a new large preschool in Bro have sparked strong reactions among parents in Romme. Louise and Håkan Fredin, who have long advocated for Tunets school, have appealed the building permit for the new facility intended to replace three smaller preschools. The parents accuse the municipality of secrecy.

Borlänge municipality plans to construct a new preschool in Bro with space for 144 children, expected to be completed in 2028. This facility will replace three smaller preschool units in the area. Parents in nearby Romme, including Louise and Håkan Fredin, have reacted strongly to the proposal. The couple, who previously campaigned to preserve Tunets school, have now filed an appeal against the building permit.

Louise Fredin voices her disappointment: "I'm so sad," she tells borlangetidning.se. The parents accuse the municipality of foul play and secrecy in the planning process. They argue that the decision was made without sufficient transparency toward affected families.

The municipality aims to provide a modern and efficient preschool solution to meet needs in the growing area. No further details on the appeal or the municipality's response are available at this time. The article draws from reports in local media.
