Ms Roddick highlights an important issue, which has been made clear to me in meetings and visits with the islanders. Transport links are key to economic and social wellbeing, especially for island residents, communities and businesses, who must be involved in the decisions that affect those services. In light of that, the importance of hearing the voice of communities is a key theme in our islands connectivity plan. From meetings with the task force, it is clear that Orkney Islands Council is focused on meeting the needs of its island communities, and we remain committed to supporting the council with that work, including the progression of its business cases.
