Islands transport needs to be addressed

Sir,

Once again there are murmurs of an extra ferry for Stornoway. Why?

Do we not earnestly require two ferries to replace the 30-year-old problematic boats presently serving Lochboisdale and Castlebay? Of course we do. It is what islanders wish first and foremost.

Roads engineers and others associated with transport promotion would do well to get the two-lane track finished from the Butt to Barra, which began more than 35 years ago. To do the roads would also show us islanders that they were taking care of people’s priorities.

All well-read folk will understand the continuation of the madness of last summer needs addressed.

If you continue with the blinkers on not serving us islanders as noted, the island’s image in the world, along with the environment being ruined, are going to be your reward.
