FREDERIKSHAVN: On Friday, 24 out of the 29 city council members in Frederikshavn reached a budget settlement for 2025-2028.

The takeover of Frederikshavn Port entails an additional task for the municipality's budgeting in the coming years, until the port can manage itself again.

The compromise parties have also agreed on an extraordinary repayment of loans for DKK 54.9 million, which will release DKK 11.8 million annually for operations and welfare.
More money for welfare
Among the budget changes are a number of additions to the welfare areas. In 2025, DKK 7 million will be allocated to the primary school, which will ensure the quality of the school, camp school, classroom management and 2-adult initiatives. The elderly area will be allocated DKK 10 million, which will, among other things, strengthen efforts for citizens with dementia and for various welfare funds. The city council will also ensure that the well-being and health of the elderly area's employees are prioritized, and that there is a strong professional connection and development.
