Sarwar's Ferry Fix: One Agency for Islanders

0:00On March 30th, labor leader Anna Sarwar hit storn away on the Isle of Lewis this Monday to push his parties fixes for Scotland's fairy woes. He's pledging a full overhaul by merging CalMAC, the main operator, with Caledonian maritime assets limited, the procurement group into one. Streamlined agency. This new setup would cut red tape and put islanders right on the board for real input. Sarwar says his government would nail the basics, making sure fairies actually serve folks living out there. Right now, island communities are fed up with constant disruptions that no one on the mainland would stand for. Sarwar points out if trains between Glasgow and Edinburgh faced the same chaos, it'd spark a national scandal and get fixed fast. CalMAC's under massive strain lately, with eight vessel sideline just last week alone. That's everyday life, turned upside down for islanders who deserve better than this ongoing mess. Sarwar is vowing to end that tolerance, delivering a system built around their needs and aspirations to keep Scotland's islands connected for good.
