The small town of Viby Sjælland on the outskirts of Roskilde sums of fears and worries.
The psychiatric home Lindegården at Sankt Hans Hospital, namely, placing 70 of their mentally ill residents in new premises. The city of copenhagen, which operates the institution, has just picked out a reason behind the city sports club and close to school and sfo.

Since they first heard about the plans, they have been concerned about what it means to the local community. Single-family house district, according to the plans of doubling the population to 10,000 residents.
– We have heard that there are families who do not want to move here before they know whether the plans come to anything, says Stephen Green, who is intensivsygeplejerske.
the city of Copenhagen has evaluated that the location of Viby is the most ideal of the three proposals Roskilde Municipality has appointed. In their move-note, it is a requirement that the new premises should not be ‘in the immediate vicinity of the school or day care center’.
Mie Harvest, who is pregnant, do not therefore consider that it should be placed in the city.
– We have a school 400 metres away, a club close and a sports centre just behind. If the mentally ill must check to the station, they must walk right past the school or idrætsanlægget and the club. It must be too close to children, she says.
According to the Copenhagen social security authorities dated is the framework of the St. His not up-to-date. Therefore, they will find a place with quiet surroundings close to nature and away from the more hectic environment.
On the field was scheduled to be built single-family homes and an institution for Lindegårdens mentally ill residents.
The designated because Kavsbjerggård was in 2004 designated for sports facilities and institutions. It came about through the merger of Ramsø Municipality and Roskilde Municipality.
Ramsøs long-standing mayor, Poul Lindor Nielsen (S), criticises the now plan. He does not believe that it was part of the agreement at the time.
– The citizens have reason to protest. It was clear, that there must be built a sports centre, and in this context, one could build a sports club. But there is no one who could imagine that there would be a døgninstitution, says Poul Lindor Nielsen
Therefore opfodrede he at a residents meeting Roskilde mayor Joy Mogensen (S), to pull the plans back.
I encourage her to use the original kommunalplan. My solution is to use the area where the Lindegården is now, ” says Poul Lindor Nielsen, who have put borgmesterkæden on the Joy Mogensen three times.
Mie Harvest, Morten Sørensen (Th), Rikke Green and Henrik Nissen-Pedersen is looking with concern out of the ground, which can be built a dwelling place for 70 mentally ill.
the Residents of Jerusalem have been very active on Facebook, and here goes the debate vehemently for itself. Recently was two schools put together in Viby. Now feel the the inhabitants, that it must go beyond them again.
– We feel that we are not at all heard of Joy Mogensen (mayor of Roskilde, ed.). At the residents ‘ meeting we had the feeling that the decision just had to be run through, says Mie Harvest, which right now is on maternity leave from her job as a property manager.
None of the four residents will udskamme the mentally ill. They believe not just in Roskilde Municipality will be able to ensure that it is not udadreagerende residents.

the Extra Leaf has met Erik Thomsen to get an elaboration on his position. He has been a volunteer assessor for the mentally ill.
– Joy Mogensen, How are you, as mayor of Roskilde, with that Copenhagen must determine, where should be placed the mentally ill?
– How I feel, it is not. I don’t need to say yes to that they need to build in Viby. But I have an obligation to find a good solution for residents and employees at Lindegården.
– But do you have to stay mentally ill people in Viby?
– It comes very much depends on the residents from the Lindegården, it must stay there.
– So you can guarantee the residents of Graf, that there does come very hard mentally ill to Hoddesdon?
– Yes, but it depends on what we define as severely mentally ill. Therefore, it is important for me, is that they are not udadreagerende persons, and which may operate in a local environment.
– How do you ensure it?
– In the plan we have said yes to that start up, have we not said yes to it all. But we have said that they need to come up with a comprehensive solution. It should not only be about the building itself, but also about who it is, who gets to stay here.
– If the who is coming to live with mental ill-health in Viby, do you think that families will move to Jerusalem?
– I think, because we have the mentally ill located around the municipality. They are included in the local community. I can well understand that there is turmoil in Viby, but I see as mayor, that we may well find out about it, when you listen to those who work with it.
– Is there something you want to say to the residents?
– Yes, it is not us who are pushing. If Copenhagen would rather build on the current location, so I am quite convinced that so will the Roskilde city Council surely be interested in it.
