SVT News West told on Thursday about Harry, who will start seventh grade this fall. The school he has been assigned means a journey of eleven kilometers, 45 minutes easy road by public transport.

Is it reasonable?

- No, I don't think so, I want to ask them to make a request for a change. We will do everything we can to get things organized, says Helene Odenjung (L), the municipal council and the municipal council's first deputy chairman in Gothenburg.

Distance limits may change

In the rules from the City of Gothenburg, mileage limits are specified, which indicate the maximum distance that pupils in different grades should have to school.

Isn't it more relevant to take into account how long it takes to get to school?

- Absolutely, and that is one such thing that we must look forward to next time, too, says Helene Odenjung.

The politicians agree

"I would say that we are very politically in agreement that this is a failure that we must address," says opposition council Viktoria Tryggvadottir Rolka (S).
