[Stronsaylimpet] Ferries task force!

[Limpet editor]

/From Liam McArthur MSP:/
As I discussed on BBC Radio Orkney this morning, the establishment of a 
ferries task force is welcome but it is not the first such task force to 
be launched by this Scottish Government.
Former Transport Minister, Humza Yousaf made a similar pledge to people 
in Orkney back in 2018. It rarely met, had no real ministerial input and 
went the same way as SNP pledges on RET.
Given the importance of these lifeline service, that can’t be allowed to 
happen again. If Mr Swinney is serious about wanting to find a 
resolution to this long running saga, he can’t simply announce and retreat.
He must stay the course and make clear to his officials that he expects 
to see this task force agree such a plan for delivering the new ferries 
that are urgently needed. Orkney’s island communities need and deserve 
nothing less.
