Letters / Great Advice?
Great advice (Fanatical opposition; SN, 10/08/14) from the man who brought us the Bressay Brig fiasco. The value of just how many schools did that cost the SIC?
Great advice from the chair of a ZetTrans with logistics so well thought out that it requires three busses to come from Lerwick to transport seven people from Scalloway and Burra to Lerwick on a recent 13.10 service and one person to Burra.
Yes, this is a ZetTrans whose chair boasted the value of the new inter-island ferry online booking service that doesn’t have the island of Unst in it at all, and won’t allow return journeys between Unst and Fetlar on Mondays.
Yes indeed – Allan Wishart is just the man whose vision and judgment is what we need for the future of Shetland and its environment.

Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
