The Municipality of Marks is criticized by Ivo (the Inspectorate for Care and Care) because a man has lived for 16 years in an LSS accommodation without being able to get out of his apartment himself, writes Borås Tidning.

Partly there was a lock on his room which prevented him from getting out to the common areas, partly the outdoor yard was surrounded by a fence several meters high.

Two more people live in the group accommodation. The Social Administration’s proposal is now to dismantle it.
