Repair and preservation of the town hall

Initiative done  Initiative type Council initiatives Initiative author Stenvall Raimo Initiative status Processed

Once again, an initiative from Tuusula Town Hall. I request that all documents relating to the demolition of the town hall be brought to the attention of the municipal council once more. It is surprising that, based on all the statements available, the building is said to be repairable. None of the statements indicate that it should be demolished. The architect who examined the reports I received stated that he could find no grounds for demolishing the building. The repair costs have not been investigated as an alternative to demolition. A proper conservation assessment of the building must be carried out. Repairing and preserving the town hall for some other purpose, such as an art museum, is justified and a cultural achievement.

Professor Arto Sipinen, the architect who designed the town hall, is the only architect in Finland to have been awarded the Pro Finlandia medal. The conservation value of the town hall must be assessed by experts in the field.
