Row over chairmanship of new Crofting Commission

on April 5, 2012 Total Views: 10 Daily Views: 0

Click on image to enlarge. A strongly-worded attack has been launched against the Scottish government’s decision to appoint a chairman to the new Crofting Commission. Isles MSP Tavish Scott said a failure to allow crofting representatives to choose their own leader demonstrated a “command and control” strategy being exercised by the SNP. His comments came after the commission’s new representatives met the Holyrood environment minister Stewart Stevenson for the first time this week. Kathleen Sinclair, who was elected to represent Shetland, joined forces with her counterparts from Orkney, the Highlands and Western Isles for Monday’s meeting in Inverness – a day after the new commission...

The isles and the referendum: some observations

on March 19, 2012 Total Views: 9 Daily Views: 0

It is notable – but hardly surprising – that Tavish Scott and his Orkney counterpart Liam McArthur have chosen to respond with their seven-and-a-bit page document to the UK government’s consultation on the referendum on Scotland’s constitutional future, but not the Scottish government’s own Your Scotland Your Referendum exercise. In his comments on BBC Scotland’s Politics Show yesterday Mr Scott appeared to accept Alex Salmond’s proposed timetable for a referendum in the autumn of 2014. Whether that was a slip or not – the Tory-Lib Dem coalition government is pushing for a much earlier poll – it is the only common ground the...

Council wants action on ‘exorbitant’ ferry fares

on March 9, 2012 Total Views: 18 Daily Views: 0

Councillors have demanded Scottish government action to address “exorbitantly unequal” ferry fares which allow families in Stornoway to make a return trip to the Scottish mainland for a fifth of the price a Shetland family has to pay. In its submission to the Scottish government’s draft ferries plan, the SIC highlights that in peak season, the cost of two adults and two children travelling from Lerwick to Aberdeen and back with a car is £702.60. An equivalent family return trip between Stornoway and Ullapool costs just £135.40. Scottish civil servant Cheryl Murrie was in Lerwick for Friday morning’s development committee to update the SIC on the government’s draft ferries plan and the tendering process for the new north boats contract. Members ...

Wait goes on for duty rebate as fuel costs remain high

on August 25, 2011 Total Views: 8 Daily Views: 0

The long-awaited fuel duty rebate of five pence per litre for motorists could at last be just round the corner, with Europe expected to give the derogation the nod by the end of September. The move will provide a welcome relief for car drivers and businesses who have been forced to endure stubbornly high prices at the pumps. But renewed calls were made this week for the Office of Fair Trading to investigate the high rates motorists ...
