Letters / Time to open up the coffers?
Here we ir sittin in Shetland wi millions o pounds in a bank…..
Wir we no telt dat wis ordinary folk cooldna git ony thing oot o it cos it wis fur an emergency.
Weel wir in an emergency situation eenoo….
Wir front line workers hae very little PPE [personal protective equipment]…folk need tae be tested an wir food banks hiv da highest uptake.
I ask you is it noo time fur wir esteemed cooncilers tae open up da coffers an use a grain o dis millions fur da güd o wir community?
Test aa body, ensure wir frontline workers ir safe an dat aabody gits maet.

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.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.
