	The municipality wants to build a new swimming pool at Bjørkelangen. The swimming pool is supposed to be an offer to school children, sport swimmers, retraining and elderly people in community.

The swimming pool is supposed to be an offer to school children, sport swimmers, retraining and elderly people in community. The inhabitants living in and nearby Bjørkelangen are positive and enthusiastic about the planned facilities.

	All of the schools in the municipality have pools, which supports the swimming lessons on each school. The existing pools also offer the inhabitants bading and swimming opportunities two to three times a week. The inhabitants in the other part of the municipality are rather skeptic, as they fear that the new Swimming hall will be expensive. Many fears that the smaller local pools will be shut down, to afford the maintenance and costs of the new swimming facilities. This will force the school children to travel many miles every week, to get their swimming lessons. This will provide a poorer swimming offer, probably lead to weaker swimmers, and claim a lot of time and money for transport expences. The municipality is split between, the inhabitants of the countryside and the inhabitants who live nearby the new facility (and of course the politicians who ~~dream~~ wants to attract ~~more~~ inhabitants with luxury facilities). The municipality doesn’t have any large amount of swimmers, and in nearby cities there are similar facilities. Therefor it is legit to ask, why use money on a debated swimming hall. When the municipality have little money, and other more precarious needs? Smaller autonomic cells, will lower the transport needs, and the inhabitants could preserve an independent town structure. The newly planned Swimming hall stands as a symbol of centralization politics, and the investment politics in my municipality. The inhabitants of the countryside, wish to preserve the smaller towns with their own autonomy (in some extent), while the politicians and the people living around the municipality center wants focus on developing one bigger center.

Concervation and maintainence of a already existing facility seems to be a more sustainable and satisfactory solution?

	My municipality is called Aurskog-Høland. I grew up in a small town to the south of the municipality. My town is called Hemnes, and the organizational center is called Bjørkelangen. Hemnes and the other towns in the south of the municipality are threatened by depopulation and centralization. All the commitment and investment are made in Bjørkelangen (north of the municipality), and I think “the new swimming pool” and its centralized location signal a challenge for landscapers and city planners. The Swimming pool, is in many ways a symbol on the centralization politics, and many fear that all the investment in Bjørkelangen will destroy the existing town ~~structure~~ in the municipality. The investment in a bigger swimming pool split my municipality, and creates a need for new democratically processes and evaluation.		My municipality is called Aurskog-Høland.
