The Pier Project - Consultation Report

Posted 26/02/2021
By: Helen Castle

As part of the initial consultation phase of The Pier Project, we are delighted to share with you the consultants' first report.

This report has been compiled by our project consultants, Alan Jones Associates, and is based on the responses to the survey issued to all adult residents on Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre in December/January.

This is the first step of our planned community consultation. Unfortunately, we have been unable to proceed with the next steps due to further Covid-19 restrictions announced just before Christmas. We are hopeful that the consultation will be able to continue as planned over the next couple of months, so please look out for further information in due course.

In the meantime, should anyone have any questions regarding The Pier Project, please do not hesitate to ask us.
