Day:156, Words:156

It appears that the case of the closing school has not yet been put to bed. Last week in the newspaper, we read that the owners of the general store in Nuvsvåg were selling up and moving to warmer climates and a more stable population down south. There has been some heated discussions via the social media with political fingers being pointed left right and centre and a social divide has been created that is even greater than the fjord separating the two small towns.

However some recent lobbying to higher powers has seen the debate reborn. The are questions regarding both the legal and ethical ramifications of sending six year olds on a potentially dangerous journey over dodgy roads and at times stormy waters on a daily basis. The cold reality is that the passage from Nuvsvåg to Øksfjord is not always accommodating.....and not always open.

This fight looks like it's going the distance.
