The reinstatement of concessionary fares on the Sound of Harris and Sound of Barra ferry routes, is set to be considered by councillors in the Western Isles when Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Transport and Infrastructure Committee meets next.

Comhairle Nan Eilean Siar and Who Cares? Scotland would like to invite you to celebrate the launch of the Hebridean Year of Care on National Care Day, Friday, February 19.

A report with a “definitive time-scale” for the implementation of an experimental traffic order for Stornoway’s Assaye Place will now come before the next meeting of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Transport and Infrastructure Committee in February, after councillors rejected a proposal to delay the introduction of the scheme until later in the new year.
