Letters / Sticky plaster
It’s great to hear and read the island communities have managed to come together and set out a way ahead concerning their lifeline ferry services.
It has quickly become clear the council isn’t fit to solve these problems and the community has injected some much needed common sense into the matter.
Time and time again we see the council come up with half cooked ideas of how they are going to solve their out of control spending and the bulk of these are not real time savings, they are purely sticky plaster over the cracks that someone will have to deal with down the line at a greater cost.
If Shetland is to get through this, then it looks like the communities are going to have to do it.
