We work for a pleasant village spirit and want to keep a high profile for our part of the municipality of Ingå/Inkoo. All inhabitants of the area which formerly made up the municipality of Degerby are automatically also members of the village council. Please contact us if you have new initiatives and ideas. Everybody is welcome to work with us.
Degerby Village Council (Degerby byaråd)
