Last for today. Transport in Orkney needs thinking for the future. Fixed links between the North Isles would create an area about the size of the Mainland. Services such as health and education would be transformed. The possibilities for economic development are immense. Equally joining Hoy to Stromness via Graemsay would have great benefits. The sleepy little island mentality is just that and needs thinking far out of the box. We have oil funds to invest and the Norwegians have the expertise, so why not just get on with it? But I like most Orcadians am 100% against a Pentland Firth tunnel. -- Charles Tait Photographic Limited, Kelton, St Ola, Orkney, UK KW15 1TR Tel 01856 873738 Fax 01856 875313 Mobile 07785 220269 All outgoing and incoming mail is checked by Norton Antivirus email charles.tait@zetnet.co.uk website http://www.charles-tait.co.uk photo gallery http://gallery.charlestait.com Charles Tait Photographic Limited Company Number SC240761 Warning: This email is intended only for the addressee.
