Message-ID: <e6791a9d-3fc8-4806-98a9-80b6b9b2cc94@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From BBC Radio Orkney on Facebook:/

The cable repair boat has arrived in Orkney to repair the subsea 
telecoms cable SHEFA-2 which was damaged last Saturday. Track its 
progress using the link in comments.
The cable’s Faroese owners say specialist staff will now assess the 
damage, and they expect the cable will be fully repaired by Wednesday. 
Are you still experiencing problems? Let us know.
Internet and digital phone services in Orkney and Shetland have been 
affected since the cable was damaged by fishing gear. The network has 
been running on a back up cable since then. The repair will restore 
services to the main SHEFA-2 connection.
The arrival of Cable Vigilance is good news for households and 
businesses which have been left without access to the web, like the 
Stromness post office, the Birsay Bay tearoom and Lerwick Sheriff Court. 
They will have spent up to 12 days offline by the time the cable is fixed.
Orkney and Shetland MP Alistair Carmichael says the damage to the cable 
is evidence the Northern Isles need improved resilience for our digital 
connections. He is asking anyone who has been badly affected by the 
outage to get in touch with his office.

Message-ID: <3f2ea817-f8ff-4f2e-8bd3-f036c113c9f2@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/Part of an email from Alistair Carmichael MP:/

Catastrophic damage can happen in an instant; repairing that damage 
takes time. That is true of telecommunications cables under the sea; it 
is true, too, of the reputations of telecommunications companies themselves.
Hundreds of people in the isles were left without internet from the 
early hours of Saturday 26 July until Friday 8 August, due to an 
apparent accidental cable cut. Repairs to the cable – disrupted further 
by summer storms – have finally ended almost two weeks of disruption 
which harmed local services, businesses and individual families.
No one has covered themselves in glory over the Shefa-2 cable break, but 
the Hall of Infamy for this incident surely must place TalkTalk at its 
head. Their snub of islanders seeking answers and support has left 
people utterly outraged – and with good cause.

TalkTalk must meet with islanders and account for service failures

Some network providers were at least prepared for disruption of this 
sort. Indeed it is because some companies had thought ahead and had 
access to alternative connections that most people in the isles were not 
(directly) affected by the cable cut.
Then there is TalkTalk. The messages I and others have received from 
them have been dismissive and evasive, shifting blame and refusing to 
engage with local frustrations about their service and their 
communication. To hear it from TalkTalk there is nothing that they could 
or can do beyond sitting on their hands. The reality that other 
providers were able to secure alternative coverage apparently does not 
merit any discussion.
That would be bad enough if the company were at least willing to make 
itself accountable to its customers, but instead TalkTalk have refused 
all requests to meet virtually, let alone to send a representative to 
the isles to account for their actions – or lack thereof.
I suspect that many islanders will remember the sort of treatment they 
have had from companies such as TalkTalk when it comes to renewing 
contracts in the months and years to come.
These are the moments where business reputations are made, or damaged 
beyond repair. TalkTalk found it convenient to claim that there was 
nothing they could do to support customers while the Shefa-2 cable was 
being fixed. They may find that repairing their reputation in the 
Northern Isles is out of their hands now as well.

*_To all dog owners and walkers!_*

There are currently a lot of dogs resident in Whitehall village ( we 
call it 'canine corner'), and usually everyone who walks dogs through 
the village are very good at clearing up after their pets.
However, in the last few days, I have cleaned up five piles between 
Bankhouse and St.Columba.
It is unsightly, a health hazard, and illegal not to clear up after your 
dog. The village shop has poo bags if you need them, so please act 
responsibility,
Viv

A FLOOD ALERT has been issued for Orkney.

Heavy thundery showers or rain may affect the region during Wednesday 
afternoon and evening, and during Thursday. There is a risk of 
significant localised flooding impacts from surface water and smaller 
rivers. Whilst not all locations will be affected where heavy rain does 
occur possible impacts include property flooding, flooding of roads and 
disruption to infrastructure. There is a small risk of danger to life. 
Particularly at risk are urban areas and the transport network.

Remain vigilant and remember, it is your responsibility to take actions 
which help protect yourself and your property. Advice and information is 
available on our website or by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188.

School Closure Reminder - Island Games 2025
Following the Orkney International Island Games last month, we're 
reminding parents and carers about adjusted return dates for four of our 
schools.
Kirkwall Grammar, Papdale Primary, Stromness Academy, and Stromness 
Primary were used as accommodation for Island Games athletes and 
visitors during the event.
Our school staff need extra time to restore classrooms to their usual 
setup, so these four schools will reopen on Thursday 21 August instead 
of Tuesday 19 August.
Please note that Papdale Halls of Residence will also be closed on the 
affected dates. All other Orkney schools will return as normal on 19 
August, including Papdale and Stromness nurseries.

Hello folks! 👋🐟
Just a quick update from the Fishmart Café — we’ll still be operating as 
usual from next Wednesday, keeping to our normal advertised hours right 
up until Sunday, 31st August, our last day.
We will be running down our stock, though, so it’s a bit of a “if we’ve 
got it, you can have it” situation 🙂. Come by, enjoy your favourites 
while they last, and help us clear the shelves!
See you soon!

PANTO PRESS RELEASE /(From Louise McQuaid on Stronsay's Facebook page)/
It’s barely the start of term and we have an exciting school holiday 
programme planned from Stronsay Drama Group in October. It was so busy 
at the weekend we never got to catch you all and shout about it so we’ll 
pop the forms out at school. Once we get the names in we'll be in touch 
for all your deets to get kit ordered from stage shoes to coveralls.
We’ve got a super programme for ages 8-16. Choose as many as you like 
from performance to backstage or a mix of both. Everything we do this 
week will be used in the Panto and won't cost you a penny.
After the holidays there will be a drama group on Wednesday evenings for 
young folk because it wouldn’t be Panto without our singers and dancers. 
And there’s super big plans to bring over other young folk who will also 
be rehearsing the same dances and songs to all come together to perform 
for one night only! What could possibly go wrong?!
And what a keen bunch you all are this year! The names are in, the 
scripts are on their way, the merch is being printed and all will be 
revealed very soon…[exits dramatically swishing her cape]

/(The following email is forwarded for your information/*/):/*
*Hello from Neighbourhood Watch Scotland (NWS)*
The team at NWS are reaching out to ask for your assistance in cascading 
community information.
As you may already be aware landlines are changing, and the UK’s 
telephone network is going digital. By January 2027, the old analogue 
network will be completely switched off and replaced by new digital 
landlines which will work using broadband. This change affects all 
industry providers and their customers. It is important that we help 
support members of our communities, especially the more vulnerable, to 
ensure that they are not adversely impacted by the switch off deadline 
as best we can.
There are two key campaigns that we wish to draw your attention to:

 1.
    *‘National Telecare’ campaign:* This campaign relates to customers
    that use a telecare device such as personal alarms, pendant alarms,
    lifeline devices and home care monitoring systems. It is important
    that they take action to ensure that their equipment is compatible
    with the new digital technology. While many modern telecare systems
    are designed to work with both traditional and digital landlines,
    older models may require upgrades or replacements. Users should be
    encouraged to make contact with their landline provider for support
    as soon as possible. Further information is available at:
    https://digitalphoneswitchover.com/?msclkid=c376cdc8940b1ff75bc4a55ce5cbbd6b

 2.
    *BT Connected-Together campaign: *This initiative encourages
    friends, family, colleagues, neighbours to support vulnerable
    members of the community through the switch. This involves helping
    them to understand why it is happening, and how to prepare. The BT
    guide and the BT website can be accessed here:
    https://www.bt.com/about/all-ip/connected-together

Anyone who needs extra support to make the switch to Digital Voice, 
should register for this using the BT webform available on the _website. 
<https://auth.bt.com/9e48dc1b-bb65-4264-9a66-21e9c24affc7/b2c_1a_rpbt_signin/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=code&scope=offline_access%20openid%2087cec280-675a-4c35-aa93-56f9823d626f&client_id=87cec280-675a-4c35-aa93-56f9823d626f&state=BIX4XsA-zmxCjm3OQLOFbdTfNLA&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fmy.bt.com%2Fappsselfserve%2Fsecure%2Foauth2%2Fauthresp&nonce=u6xEwa4EljSh-Hq6aY4ry-RG_6XlzD6913S-LhovtWY&code_challenge=37BKjLmNZ86xBUm8JhnUvHXrRDJG9WfyC-uTsE_Jh8U&code_challenge_method=S256#/profile-impairment>_An 
engineer will then be made available to assist them with transition.
We respectfully ask that you spread the word far and wide, and where 
possible use your networks to disseminate the key messages through your 
own streams including WhatsApp, social media, workplace Intranets / 
external websites etc. We also have additional information on our website:

Thank you in anticipation for your support, by working together we can 
achieve so much more.

Just a polite reminder that no member of the public should be accessing 
or try to gain access to the fire station. We have been made aware of 
this happening on a few occasions over the past few months. If for any 
reason someone has a need to gain access contact me in the first 
instance and if I’m not available speak to some of the other crew 
members that might be able to assist. Thanks 👍👩🏻‍🚒🔥🚒

/Liam McArthur and Loganair:/

Under changes which will come into effect next year, the first flight of 
the day will now be northbound from Edinburgh to Kirkwall, with the 
plane no longer overnighting in Orkney. This will mean those travelling 
south will have a later arrival time and shorter overall day.   Full 
details in this link:

 Stronsay
Message-ID: <99939840-ba8e-4d63-b1aa-15c9cfbfcb72@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From Stephen Chambers on Stronsay's Facebook page:/
Openreach have now completed our main build on Stronsay which means 
internet providers are offering full fibre/ultrafast broadband.
The upgrade is not automatic - you will need to place an order with a 
provider of your choice.
Once you place an order, Openreach will schedule an appointment to come 
to your premise and bring the fibre cable direct to your property.
We have additional resource on the island throughout September so if you 
want your install done quicker, please get your order in. They will be 
fulfilling orders every day.
After September we will likely revert back to one day per week when we 
have engineers visit the island.
Any questions please feel free to reach out to me via DM or comment below🙂
Thanks,
Stephen from Openreach

Subject: [Stronsaylimpet] Orkney International Science Festival - energy in
 Orkney
Message-ID: <3841cab7-a9ec-4295-9f69-4d7655c8d7ee@stronsaylimpet.co.uk>

/From Orkney International Science Festival on Facebook:/
There are big fundamental questions about energy starting to surface in 
Orkney - and in particular about the cost: so how can Orkney's 
renewables produce cheaper electricity for local households and 
businesses? That leads into an even bigger question: what should Orkney 
do with its abundant energy? Should it simply export it all to 
industries elsewhere - or create some industries of its own? And how do 
we get the benefits of industry without further industrialising the 
landscape?
Two people ideally placed to tackle such questions are Neil Kermode of 
European Marine Energy Centre - EMEC and Dr Gareth Davies of Aquatera 
Ltd, and they will do so in the opening session of the Orkney Climate 
COP on Monday 8 September.
We'll be glad to hear your questions here, or you can email them to us 
at orkneyscience at gmail.com.
There are questions too about transport options - is it electrification 
for vehicles and ferries, or is methanol or ammonia or synthetic 
hydrocarbon the fuel of the future?
Could direct atmospheric or marine carbon capture, using local energy, 
be the industry of the future? And for offshore wind servicing, have we 
missed the boat?
The Orkney Climate COP is supported by the Highlands & Islands Climate Hub.
