A 500,000 euro annual service purchase agreement for five years is proposed for Lempäälä swimming hall. Expanding early youth work for 10-13-year-olds would require additional funding of 95,000 euros and two new employees.

Mental health problems among young people in Lempäälä rose alarmingly in the school health survey - 34% of upper secondary school girls suffer from anxiety and 10% of children are left without close friends. At the same time, the municipality must tighten its belt: education and training services need an additional 912,500 euros this year due to, among other things, legislative changes in learning support and increasing substitute costs.
