This is a petition against the proposal to run fewer sailings to Port Ellen and more sailings to Port Askaig as outlined in the ‘Scottish Ferry Services Draft Plan for Consultation’ December 2011. The community have been asked for their views on the proposal and once the document is finalised it will not be reviewed again for another 10 years.
This decision has the potential to impact greatly on the economic and social growth of the Kildalton and Oa area and we would urge you to sign below if you oppose fewer sailings being implemented. Please see http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/strategy-and-research/publications-and-consultations/draft-ferries-plan-consultation (page 34) for a first-hand look at the proposal.
To comment directly an online survey can be found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QZ25CFT, alternatively, South Islay Development would be interested in hearing your views and any relevant information you might have in order to inform the organisation’s official response to the proposal.
