These were slogan-like statements and misrepresentations of the matter, which failed to look to the future and the end goal for a project and construction programme of this magnitude at Kaplakriki. The three reviews speak for themselves regarding how the municipality has handled the project in collaboration with Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar with great determination and responsibility. The project at Kaplakriki and its framework do not require irresponsible debate. The circumstances in the community following the economic and banking collapse mean that cooperation and collaboration are key to the continued implementation of the project at Kaplakriki. It is hoped that all political parties in Hafnarfjörður can be part of that journey.“

It is now clear, according to the reviews that are available, that such a move is not viable, but the town councillors still feel that a review from the Executive Board, which holds political and financial responsibility for the project, is missing.“

      The Hafnarfjörður Town Council approved the proposal with 10 votes. 1 councillor voted against the proposal and submitted the following statement:

      “The Left-Green councillor votes against the adoption of the amendment to the detailed plan for the Haukar sports area at Ásvellir because the amendment reduces the safety of pedestrians and cyclists in the area. Furthermore, it is unusual to change a plot of land, originally allocated for sporting activities, into a plot for a petrol station. By approving this zoning change, an even greater precedent is set than has already been done with the Kaplakrika sports complex. If this change is approved, similar requests for planning permission changes can be expected from other sports clubs. It would have been more appropriate to look for a site near Ásvellir, in cooperation with the club, that does not belong to the sports complex and does not compromise the safety of pedestrians and cyclists in the area.“ Guðrún Ágústa Guðmundsdóttir (sign);
