Senior drinks: Better access at housing and centers

The Moderate party's Andréa Hedin questioned why it hasn't become easier for seniors to drink alcohol at senior housing and community centers, despite promises from Commissioner for the Elderly Torun Boucher (Left Party). Hedin highlighted that Väduren senior housing in Vasastan has banned liqueur with Thursday coffee and asked why this differs from Hornstull service house, which is now seeking temporary permits. Boucher responded that the city has actively worked on solutions that comply with alcohol law while respecting seniors' self-determination, stating that a solution was found for Väduren where residents can arrange their own events with alcohol. Furthermore, new support has been developed for city districts to simplify the process of applying for serving permits for occasions like holidays.
