Letters / Please vote
The westside by-election is on Thursday.
If you have a vote and have not already done so by post then please vote, even if you don’t think it makes a difference or the weather is terrible.
Of course I would love it if you voted for me, but whoever you wish to be your next councillor make sure your choice is counted.
It only takes a few minutes to let our voices be heard, ensuring that whatever the outcome, democracy will be the winner!
Zara Pennington
Candidate for Shetland West

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.
Your contribution will ensure Shetland News can: -
- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
- Give a voice to the community;
- Grow site traffic further;
- Research and publish more in-depth news, including more Shetland Lives features.
If you appreciate what we do and feel strongly about impartial local journalism, then please become a supporter of Shetland News by either making a single payment or monthly subscription.
Support us from as little as £3 per month – it only takes a minute to sign up. Thank you.
