Sports and youth affairs are one of the most important investments a municipality can make. They shape not only health and wellbeing but also confidence, discipline and community awareness.
The leisure grant has finally become a reality and support for our sports clubs has never been greater. The time has come for major investment in sports and youth infrastructure. We want to prioritise together with residents where the need is greatest.
- Plan and prioritise development of sports facilities for the future in good consultation with residents
- Explore the basis for a “leisure bus” between Hella and Hvolsvöllur
- Develop diverse outdoor recreation areas in the municipality’s forests, e.g. Tumastaðaskógur
- Invest in swimming pool area development in the coming years
- Cycling and walking paths throughout the municipality
- Continue working towards the goals of a health-promoting community
- Explore the operational basis and potential uses for a “Leisure Centre”
- Support continued strong work at the youth centre
- Increase grants for athletes from the municipal sports and achievement fund
- Promote increased cooperation between sports clubs in Rangárvallasýsla
- Increase residents’ access to free time for sports in the sports hall
