In this week’s The Orcadian
This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now in shops and is available online here.
On the front page, we report on the hopes of Orkney Islands Council’s leader, James Stockan, for the Islands Forum, which will give island communities a chance to discuss their issues directly with the UK Government.
From what he heard from civil servants in the run up to the meeting, Councillor Stockan said “there is a real desire to have deliverables” from the forum.
Also on the front, a photo from the Sanday Cross Kirk, where the congregation gathered in prayer as the fate of their building hangs in the balance.
