Great to see fare-free ferry travel being brought in for under22s the budget.
Brings equity for young folk in the isles that need to use ferries to get around.
Thanks to @ArianeBurgessHI for all the work to get this in the budget. nitter.cf/ross_greer/status/1864…
Long overdue that free bus travel for U22's is extended to ferries - and glad to see @scottishgreens and @ArianeBurgessHI pushing for this extension – at Kirkwall, Scotland
⛴️Ferries are a vital lifeline for islanders.
🟢Greens secured a commitment to extend concessionary ferry travel to under 22s in island communities.
📈But, the SNP are yet to fulfil their promise to young islanders, and now they plan to hike ticket prices by 10%.

The rising cost of living on our islands has seen populations dwindling. Young people are being priced out of their hometowns.
@scottishgreens secured the extension of concessionary ferry travel last year. It was due to begin this year, but the SNP hasn't introduced it. 🧵[1/4]

On Saturday, First Minister @JohnSwinney attended a performance of The Outrun at @ChurchHillThtr.
The play is part of @edintfest youth exchange programme, connecting young people from Edinburgh with peers from other parts of the world to develop their confidence and creativity.

The Scottish Government has passed legislation permitting the introduction of rent controls
We often hear that “all economists agree rent controls don’t work”. But this is fundamentally flawed 🧵 bbc.com/news/articles/cv2ykk…
Delighted to have Heather and Sandy leading Orkney Islands Council, and a pleasure to propose Sandy for Deputy Leader!
Councillor Heather Woodbridge has been elected as Political Leader at #Orkney Islands Council, with Sandy Cowie to become Deputy Leader
