THERE was debate in the council chamber earlier about whether the local authority’s strategic housing investment plan for the next four to five years was too centred on Lerwick. West councillor Liz Peterson said there is demand for affordable housing across Shetland, not just.
IT WAS just over one year ago that voters went to the polls to decide who should become Shetland’s latest batch of councillors. Five had already been confirmed, given that there were not enough candidates to hold elections in the North and North Isles wards. But the day after.
A PROPOSED upgrade of the road leading to Walls is set to move to the next stage in the lengthy business case process after the matter went in front of councillors this morning (Monday). A motion by Shetland West member Liz Peterson to press ahead won a vote 5-4 when it was.
