Letters / Come on SIC!
Further to Dorothy O’Brien’s letter (When is Lerwick going to move into the 21st century?, 30/05/2018), I have to agree that with all the SIC’s hoo-hah about the tourists, and totally destroying the road system in Lerwick with speed bumps and stopping cars from parking on the street, they have done absolutely nothing about cafes or shop’s being open on a Sunday.
We have just come back from America where every shop, eatery and bar is open on Sundays and not only that but every bar had live bands playing morning, noon and night.
Come on SIC, if you are so interested in tourists, get your backsides in gear and get the shops and cafes open.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
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.
