In this week’s The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available in shops and online, here.

This week’s front page features a story on Orkney Islands Council’s u-turn on funding cuts to learning support services in the county. One local mother, who protested against the cuts, has branded the local authority’s approach to the issue “a farce.”

• The opening of Orkney’s new hospital and healthcare facility — everything you need to know

• Orkney Islands Council considers daycare and telecare charges

• Grampian patients Orkney bound?

• Sniffing out one of the greatest threats to wildlife in Orkney
