[Stronsaylimpet] OIC - Orkney Ferries replacement vessels

[Limpet editor]

/From Kirsty Groundwater:/
Evening all - Kirsty from the Council here.
Most have you will have heard Councillor Mellissa Thomson speaking on 
BBC Radio Orkney this week about our ferry challenges - if you missed it 
you can listen here https://tinyurl.com/3xsymvvu

and you can read our press release here

We've also made the front of The Orcadian this week on the issue.
We're continuing to press the Scottish Government for a further meeting 
of the taskforce. When that taskforce does meet we want to be presenting 
them with evidence of the real impact the current situation is having on 
folk in the isles - and so we want to hear from you!
Maybe you are someone with limited mobility who finds it difficult to 
use the ferries or maybe you're a isles business which is impacted by 
ferry capacity or cancellations when things go technical.
If you're willing to have yap with me about how ferry issues are 
affecting you, please drop me an email at kirsty.groundwater at orkney.gov.uk
