Everything about Ballerup totally explained
Ballerup is a municipality (
Danish,
kommune) in
Region Hovedstaden on the island of
Zealand (
Sjælland) in eastern
Denmark. The municipality covers an area of 34
km², and has a total population of 47,116 (2008). It is also the name of the municipality's principal
town.
Its mayor is Ove E. Dalsgaard, a member of the
Social Democrats (
Socialdemokraterne)
political party. His opponents accuse him of a "tax and spend policy", several prestige projects and an "art fetish", which supposedly have led to severe cuts in services, especially in areas such as education and senior care. His supporters, on the other hand, claim that the cuts in service are primarily due to the compulsory fund transfer between Danish municipalities. He celebrated 25 years as mayor in September 2006, cementing his reputation as the "Boss of Ballerup". Parallels to the career of indicted former mayor of
Farum (later a part of
Furesø municipality),
Peter Brixtofte, have been drawn by his opponents. Despite this he was re-elected by a wide margin in the most recent elections.
Other than Ballerup, the towns that make up the municipality are
Måløv and
Skovlunde.
Neighboring municipalities are
Herlev to the east,
Furesø to the north,
Egedal to the west, and
Albertslund and
Glostrup to the south.
The geography of Ballerup municipality wasn't affected on
January 1,
2007 as the result of the nationwide
Kommunalreformen ("The Municipal Reform" of 2007).
