In this week’s The Orcadian
This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available in shops and online.
On the front page, internal Orkney Native Wildlife Project papers released to the newspaper suggest that a plan to use “species control orders” could be enforced on local farmers in future.
The use of legal powers — acknowledged as a last resort — compelling landowners to co-operate with the stoat eradication in Orkney has been mooted as a possible course of action, the papers reveal.
We also report on claims from disappointed animal right campaigners that Kirkwall Bonfire Night is “skating on thin ice” when it comes to the law, after Saturday night’s stripped-back.
As for The Peedie Orcadian, there’s news of a girl guides trip to Norway, and of the amazing opportunities on offer through Young Enterprise Scotland.
