  </The representatives of the Independence Party point out that due to the difficult financial situation of the City of Hafnarfjörður and as the proposed works are not in the budget, the party's councillors proposed last January that the plans to move the classrooms from Hjallabraut to Vellir would be reconsidered. It was proposed that other solutions for the nursery and primary school accommodation in the Vellir district be sought, and emphasis was placed on better utilising other council-owned premises for this purpose.

  Representatives of the Social Democratic Alliance and the Left-Green Movement submit the following statement: It is surprising that the representatives of the Independence Party choose not to take a position on the proposals put forward here, which are aimed at resolving the accommodation issues of nursery and primary school children and have been developed in close cooperation and with the full agreement of both parents and the management of the relevant educational institutions.
