Residents of Haparanda have been without a swimming pool for just over three years. Next week the city council will decide whether a new bathhouse will be built.

The plan is to build a new swimming and ball hall at a total cost of SEK 250 million. If everything goes according to plan, the bath house will be completed at the turn of the year 2025/2026."It's a lot of money, but it's also an important investment for the municipality," says municipal commissioner Nina Waara.
