Swedish news is sometimes hard to come by. Lundagard’s international edition gives you a short summary of local, regional and national news every week.
Nya Magasinet, an apartment complex recently built by AF Bostäder, will be open soon to interested Lund University students. The majority of the complex’s housing consists of so-called “kompislägenheter” or apartments for friends. The two-roomers are designed to meet the needs of students who would like to share their apartment with one or more friends. There are also larger three-room and four-room apartments available.
Just north of Lund C, a pågatåg train heading for Kävlinge stood completely still in the week past after receiving a false driving signal. The train was evacuated afterwards, but passengers told stories of cold seats and poorly functioning toilets. One of the power lines above the train tracks also broke down, delaying traffic for the remainder of the day.
Up to 14 break-ins have been reported to Scanian police over just a six hour period. The rise in break-ins is generally attributed to the advent of the fall season, along with darker hours and greater likelihood of break-ins and robberies. At least a couple of the cases have reported stolen cash or jewelry.
Not since 1905, when SMHI (Sweden’s Meteorological and Hydrological Institute) started measuring precipitation levels, has the country waited this long for the first snow to arrive. With the more than hundred-year-old record broken, Norrland (Sweden’s most northernly province) can finally expect snow for the upcoming weekend, though only a light blanket of about 1.5 cm.
Disruptions in Swedish nuclear energy have been worrying Sweden’s Secretary of Energy Anna-Karin Hatt. The disruptions can lead to looming rises in energy costs for Sweden’s everyday citizens. This worry can be of concern to Scania’s citizens as well, many of whom are relying on nuclear power for electricity.
