In this week’s The Orcadian
This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available in shops and online.
On the front page, we share the news that organisers of Kirkwall Bonfire are to conduct a review of the annual community event, in the wake of a petition calling for its relocation. A group concerned for the impact the fireworks display has on birdlife at the Peedie Sea have received the backing of hundreds of signatories, as well as the broad support of a national animal welfare charity.
The front page also reports on the latest inspectors findings at a Kirkwall day centre, including concerns over “medication errors”.
