Louise Westerberg, who lives on the islands south of Gräsö, criticizes Östhammar Municipality for insufficient engagement in archipelago matters. She calls for better dialogue and on-demand public transport to support year-round living.
Louise Westerberg makes a living from the archipelago by breeding animals, taking assignments from the county board and guiding tourists. She says the municipality talks about rural development on islands with bridge or ferry connections but not on those without.
Municipal councilor Fabian Sjöberg (M) states that he answers archipelago questions twice a day and that the municipality has reviewed boat berths. Westerberg still considers the efforts insufficient.
She gives the politicians a failing grade and lacks dialogue. To pass, some form of on-demand public transport is required, according to her.
