In this week’s edition of The Orcadian

This week’s paper is now available from all the usual outlets and online, here.

This week’s front page features stories on:

• Orkney’s Joint Integrations Board — which is responsible for the planning and delivery of delegated health and social care services in Orkney — has reported that it is unlikely to have sufficient funds to meet demand during its first year of operation.

• High-level talks have taken place with the UK Government aimed at ensuring long-term benefits for Orkney from renewable energy.

Also in this week’s paper:

• An Orkney DJ’s dreams of hosting a slot on BBC radio 1 will become a reality tonight. The Orcadian catches up with Will Atkinson ahead of his first broadcast.

• The story of Flotta, under one roof. One woman who grew up on the island makes an emotional visit back to open the Flotta’s new Heritage Centre.

• Local folk meet to discuss the recent decision by UK voters to leave the European Union. More local views on the subject are also given in this week’s Postbag pages.
