During a Tuesday evening meeting of the Mullsjö Municipality Council on March 24, 2026, council members approved an additional 5 million Swedish kronor for the ongoing renovation of the local swimming pool. The decision followed what was described as a heated debate among council members. According to reports from Jönköpings-Posten, the swimming pool was closed on December 1, 2023, for renovations originally estimated to cost around 40 million kronor.
The project was initially expected to reopen approximately one year later. However, current estimates suggest the pool may be ready by summer 2026 at a cost of up to 75 million kronor, though the council had previously only approved additional funding up to 70 million. Council member Ingemar Eriksson (M) expressed strong dissatisfaction, stating, 'I feel deceived.
I feel deceived. When we made the decision about 40 million, it was sworn that it would be enough.
' His party colleague Henrik Jansson (M) reminded council members that he had previously suggested building a new swimming pool instead. ' Despite the contentious debate, the council ultimately approved the additional funding needed to complete the swimming pool renovation.
we have done twice as much as originally planned.
