Letters / A council seminar might do the trick
I’d like to congratulate Sustainable Shetland and James Mackenzie on their recent material (Shetland has again all eggs in one basket; Viewpoint SN, 11 October 2019 and Open letter to SIC: Call for a wind farms impact assessment on island communities; SN, 25 October 2019).
Yes, it’s a bit dispiriting that councillors didn’t know what to do with it; but I think councillors have got it into their heads that they must assist Viking Energy – that that’s part of their job.
A seminar might do the trick.

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.
