🗓 Tuesday 2nd June

📍 Tarbert Community Centre - Isle of Harris

Transport Scotland are currently undertaking work to better understand how ferry and wider transport services support island and peninsula communities in the Outer Hebrides, Small Isles, Skye and Raasay. This will result in individual Community Needs Assessments, which will help inform future vessel/port investment and service decisions.

Further information, and the opportunity to complete ferry user surveys, is available on the Transport Scotland website: Islands Connectivity Plan | Community Needs Assessments | Transport Scotland

https://www.transport.gov.scot/public-transport/ferries/islands-connectivity-plan/ #64552

A public drop-in session will take place here on Tuesday 2 June, 16:00 – 19:00 and will give you the opportunity to see work to date on the mainland routes serving Harris and:

● Tell Transport Scotland and its contractor Ramboll UK whether they have understood the transport issues correctly;
● Share first hand experiences of using ferry and other transport services;
● Highlight anything which has been missed; and
● Discuss what better connectivity would mean for your community.
