Survey on Deck Space Pilot on ferry

We all know that getting your car onto the ferry at short notice can be difficult in the summer.

For the last year, about a tenth of the deck space on Coll and Tiree ferry (roughly 10 cars) is held back until a week before sailing.

The idea behind this Deck Space Pilot is to help people who want to travel at relatively short notice for things like appointments or family events.

The Pilot has been extended for another year. But CalMac and Transport Scotland are keen to find out what we think about the new system.

Tiree Community Council would be grateful if you could fill in this short anonymous survey. We’ll collect your opinions and feed them back to those who run the service.

R100 Roll out

We failed miserably to stream the Tuesday’s presentation. However, we will post the slides and a video of the presentation shortly.

In the meantime if you are interested in fibre broadband, please register your interest as detailed below. This will show demand and help Openreach with planning.

R100

If you are planning to attend tonight’s TCC meeting, or next Tuesday’s meeting in An Talla (2PM), then it would be worth checking your line status.

Go to: https://www.scotlandsuperfast.com/ and follow the prompts.

If the pop up says “R100” you are in phase 1, else you are in phase 2.

This will be explained at the meetings.
