Showcases / SIC Service Review Proposals
Review of ferries, winter road maintenance and street lighting
The Council is reviewing all its services to save money so that it can provide the best possible service within its current budget.
Details of proposals to review the inter-island ferries, winter road maintenance and street lighting can be found by clicking on the links on the right.
It is vital the Council understands the impact any changes will have on individuals, communities and businesses so that Councillors can make well-informed decisions.
The Council would like to encourage people to comment on the proposals at the email address or phone number below, both of which can also be used to find out more information.
