Lempäälä Community Development Board put the draft building code on public display. The new code would significantly ease permit requirements – among other things, the construction of noise barriers, transformer stations, solar panels, and certain repair work would be exempt from permits. The board also approved the paving contract option for 2026 for Peab Industri Oy and supported changes to Valkeakoski public transport, but opposed the discontinuation of route 63.
