Yeah and I see swampy's been moved on...
Yeh I know just made me smile. Anyway, at least we have someone on our side. Talks a lot of sense, but sense doesn't seem to come into it.
I did Googs! See my 14:33 :)
If only I'd posted that last week ;-)
Good find tank you key facts:
At most, Jokkmokk had about 12,000 inhabitants at the beginning of the 1960s. Then the expansion of the hydropower created many jobs.
At the end of the half-year, the population figure is now below 5,000 inhabitants - precisely 4,966 inhabitants. Since the turn of the millennium, the municipality has lost more than a thousand inhabitants.
Consequently, Bernhardsson is intensely committed to broadening business. The municipality needs more legs to stand on to break the downward trend.
This is also the reason why he and the others in the municipal management take the fight for mining in Kallak, which is usually referred to as Europe's largest unbroken iron ore deposit.
Bernhardsson's demands for the red-green government are clear.
“It's a sharp location for the municipality! Grant a processing license for Kallak now! ”, The municipal council urges.
He points out that a mine in Kallak would create hundreds of jobs and new development opportunities for Jokkmokk.
The government should not hesitate.
Such a decision is fully in line with Sweden's national mineral strategy, which speaks of developing Sweden as a mining nation.
There will also be no untouched nature in Jokkmokk if the government gives green light to Kallak. The mining establishment affects less than one per thousand of Jokkmokk's municipality.
Remember that Jokkmokk is Sweden's second largest municipality to the surface. It is bigger than Skåne, Halland and Blekinge - together!
Thus, there is room for both mountain tourism, forestry, reindeer husbandry and mining activities in the municipality. One need not be set against the other.
To add to this, Jokkmokk needs to save 20 million SEK over the next two years.

Referring to Googlebots post last Friday (never got round to it):

Just read it and let it sink in.
It's wrapped up with a comment so eloquently put...
"Thus, there is room for both mountain tourism, forestry, reindeer husbandry and mining activities in the municipality. One need not be set against the other."
The situation is quite barmy, what an opportunity many towns and cities across Europe would give their right arm for.
