28 July 2010 - Scottish Government Ferries Review Consultation Events in Shetland
People in Shetland will have an opportunity to discuss the future of local ferry services as part of the Scottish Government’s Ferries Review when officials visit the islands next month.
The Scottish Ferries Review examines current provision of ferry services and respondents are being invited to consider a range of changes and improvements suggested by people and communities across Scotland that could be made to meet future customer needs. This includes:
* how ferries should be funded and procured
* the setting of fares
* what kind of services should be supported with public money
* who should be responsible for providing these services
The review was a commitment within the 2006 National Transport Strategy (NTS) and will inform the preparation of a long-term ferries plan for lifeline services to 2022.
Reporters are welcome to attend these events.
