The government has now produced a proposal for county plans for regional infrastructure.
There, a preliminary distribution is reported for the regional plan for Jämtland County for the years 2022-2033.
The preliminary distribution means that Jämtland during the first four years will be allocated between SEK 10-13 million per year and that money will be used for the development of the county road network.
"Really angry"
In terms of allocation of funds, Jämtland Härjedalen receives the second lowest budget of all counties and this is, among others, Elise Ryder Wikén (M), chair of the regional development committee, very critical of.
- Ten million a year is far too little, it is enough for about a kilometer of walking and cycling.
If I was angry before, I got really angry.
I do not think this is reasonable anywhere and we would like an explanation both from the Swedish Transport Administration and from the government on how to think.
One hundred million would be a reasonable sum for Jämtland Härjedalen if we are to be able to improve our roads, she says.
The regional transport plan will be sent for consultation during the autumn of 2021 and decided by the Regional Council during the autumn of 2022. The distribution will be determined by the government during the spring / early summer of 2022.
