New housing in Aarhus to make room for families with children

A new housing project in the Amtssygehuskvarteret area of Aarhus is to create good conditions for families with children. The new housing is to be built between Viborgvej and Grethe Scheuers Allé.

“Aarhus should be a city where there is also room for families with children close to the city centre,” says councillor Nicolaj Bang (K), according to a press release from the municipality. A councillor is a political leader of an area within the municipality, in other words the local authority. The first residents are expected to be able to move in in four to five years.

Government delays tax increase on electric cars

The government wants to extend the tax reduction for electric cars costing over 366,000 kr. by another year. Climate Minister Samira Nawa (R) told TV 2.

“It is allowed to become wiser, and we have listened to the strong desire that is widespread among Danes to continue being part of the green transition and buy an electric car without the tax rising.

Aarhus has just one ice rink: young players train early and late

Interest in ice hockey is strong in Aarhus, but the city has only a single ice rink. The teams therefore have to train early in the morning and late in the evening to get time on the ice. A 15-year-old player in 9th grade, who dreams of the national team, trains four times a week — either from 6.15 in the morning or so late that she only gets home around 23.00.

Meanwhile, the women's ice hockey teams are playing the World Championship in Herning. DR Nyheder Østjylland
