Earlier this year, the bathhouse closed when legionella bacteria were found.

The official's proposal was to leave the building, which was deemed to be technically finished already in 2016, but the Culture and Leisure Committee's working committee now wants to see measures.

Treating the bacteria is estimated to cost between SEK 750,000–1,000,000 and there is no guarantee that the trials will succeed.

Decisions will be made on March 22.

Insufficient

However, the initiators of the demonstration think that it is not enough to fix the bacteria.

In the long run, they want to see a new bathhouse in Råneå.

- You have to invest in the countryside.

The municipality will grow incredibly much in the future and then the countryside must also be counted on, says Tomas Karlsson, one of the initiators.

Several politicians on site

During Sunday, several politicians were present and they had to receive a two-part petition - about 1,560 digital signatures and 1,400 analogue ones.

Fredrik Hansson (S), municipal councilor in Luleå, was one of those present.

- We understand that these are important issues for the countryside and we have no other opinion than that they are important issues, he says.

He does not want to anticipate the events and wants to wait for a decision on whether the legionella bacteria should be taken care of.

- Then we'll see.

If it doesn't work, there will be a new process.

Watch as he accepts the petition from Råneå residents in the clip below, and hear Råneå residents about why they are fighting so hard for the bath house in the clip above.
