The board management has now commissioned the head of administration, Per Gjörloff, to urgently investigate the possibility of extended opening hours for the leisure center - either with existing municipal staff or with the help of increased association operations.

The background is the high-profile incident when a young and seemingly helpless teenager, who according to the police was close to losing his life.

- We take what happened seriously and claim that we from the municipality need help to counteract that something similar happens again, says Elina Gustafsson (S).

Great commitment in the village

According to Gustafsson (S), the incident has led to more parents and other adults in the community now wanting to get involved so that the young people in the village feel safe.

- I think there are good opportunities to get civil society and association life to participate and contribute in the important activities that the leisure center conducts.
