2. Why should you recommend people to live here?

3. What improvements would you like to see? Tommy Pettersson, Tranemo Artist, teacher

What´s the best living in Tranemo municipality (the place you are living in)? Your thoughts and wishes mean something. If you want you can influence and create your own conditions. You are important in a society with open doors and low thresholds. Why should you recommend people to live here? In Tranemo there is place and possibilities to develop and realize your own ideas and dreams. What improvements would you like to see? A more distinct vision about the development of Tranemo municipality presented by the politicians and civil servants. A better cooperation between different projects and development work in different branches. 5. The modern industrial work

We have a lot of industries. We will probably have in the future. Some people have an old picture of how it is to work in the industry. We want to present a story about the modern industrial work. We want to make industrial work more attractive. More people will understand the attractivness in working and living in Tranemo municipality. 6. The bicycle municipality
