It is the youth supporter Markus Malkén who criticizes the municipality and believes that the leisure centers run by associations can not even be called leisure centers, rather open houses.

One solution, he claims, would be for the municipality to take over the leisure centers under its own auspices.

This was done in the autumn with two of the ten or so leisure centers in the municipality.

But according to Malkén, it is not good enough.

In 2016, the municipality conducted an internal investigation at the leisure centers, which also showed shortcomings in the form of untrained staff and that they did not attract as many girls as boys.

The municipality believes that change work takes time and resources, but that they are underway.

Among other things, the municipality plans to create an activity center for young people in Västra School's premises.

The chair of the culture and leisure committee, Karina Josevski (MP), has declined an interview with SVT.

Instead, we have been referred to Vice President Gunilla Andersson (S).

Maybe it's time to actually get help and advice from Oxelösund's leisure center, which does an incredible amount for its young people.

They have a lot of visitors and many good activities.

Municipal assignment.


The problem does not seem to be that the leisure centers are run by associations.


The problem looks more like the municipality has not formulated an assignment, goals seem to be missing and follow-up as well.

It is NOT a leisure center with meaningful activities.

There will be ping-pong / billiard tournaments, "snickis", "syis", girls 'group, boys' group, lectures, dance night, go and swim trips, twin town exchange trips.

They should only be under municipal auspices with trained leisure leaders and an upper age limit of 18 years.

Right now there are no leisure centers, it is an adult kindergarten for criminal men.

There are many drags and noisy types hanging there.

Drugs are sold openly, which is not good.

Then there is not much to do there except hang out and talk.

Although we have a dance group.

I live in a city in central Sweden.

(vice chair of the culture and leisure committee / editor's note)

- it is about political reluctance and lack of insights.

The report in 2016 was about what we can harvest now in Nyköping.

Two young people who were murdered in 2020. Invest money in those who try, Skol-if, UngKraft perishes by the political reluctance to invest money in those who at least try to work with young people.

Do it now!

Young people need more secure adults now than ever before, especially in Nyköping.

Find the leisure center that has more girls in the business than boys!

All leisure centers have the problem that girls do not exist.

Girls get less space when the boys take up space.

Most farms have special projects in their business plans to get more girls to take a seat.


But find a leisure center that has more girls than boys who visit the farm.

There were functioning leisure centers in Nyköping.

In Herrhagen there was one where I worked.

The municipality chose to outsource all the leisure centers to associations and we were laid off / relocated.

We told him that this was going to happen and now we are there ..... what if someone listened!
