In this week’s edition of The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available from all the usual outlets, and here.

On this week’s front page, the budget battle continues. Campaigners against forth-coming OIC savings measures have joined forces this week to condemn a council statement detailing the full extent of cuts due to be made in the coming year.

This week’s paper also includes a clear layout of the council’s planned cuts.

Also in this week’s paper:

• Three lifeboat callouts over the weekend
• The children’s charity NSPCC visits Orkney schools
• All eyes on Rousay archaeology as major international projects commence on the island
• Tracing Orkney’s fallen heroes — an Orcadian RAF serviceman pays his respects to those who lost their lives in the First World War during a trip to France.

For all these stories, and much more, pick up a copy of The Orcadian today.
