the Mayor-Merceren rolls out of the Rødovre Parkvej for the last time.

Rødovres citizens can look forward to having to pay a lot less for getting their mayor back and forth to the town hall.

When bykongen Erik Nielsen 1. april stops and leaves borgmesterkæden to the deputy mayor Britt Jensen, it namely also a good-bye to the tax to luxury-the Mercedes GLC 350 Hybrid, as Ekstra Bladet before christmas revealed clearly to him the 850 metres, between the home and the town hall. A case such as Ankestyrelsen now examine. In each case, as borgmesterslæde.

The next mayor, Britt Jensen (S), says in a written response to the Extra Magazine, that she will not continue the Erik Nielsen's concessionary transport scheme.

No – I do not expect to have the same kørselsbehov, so I have no use for a tjenestebil.’

How you intend to carry you as mayor?

’I will primarily carry me on my bike, as I do to and from my work today. I bike 30 miles a day, and I would like to continue’, says Britt Jensen, who does not have any comments to the bilordningen.

Erik Nielsen even regret, however, not for a second to have sat behind the wheel of the bulky Merceces:

’My work as mayor is not just to come to the town hall. In the time I have been mayor, I have not only worked in Rødovre. I have been chairman of Local government Denmark and had a variety of other positions of trust in inter-municipal companies, which has meant that my site has been in most of the country. Therefore, I have had a large kørselsbehov, so it has sense that I have had access to a car,’ says Erik Nielsen, in another written reply from Rødovre-the politicians, who do not wish to put up for oral interviews with Extra Magazine.

The outgoing mayor also says that it has not yet been decided whether the lease agreement with Mercedesen is terminated, or if the car is going to be included in the municipality's approximately 115 strong fleet and possibly used by home care in the remainder of the lease term.
