Gerraldene-Jailbird Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 £8 Million Pound To Keep Scatsta Open - Is it worth it?? Just heard on Radio Shetland, that SLAP is to invest upto £8M on improving and keeping scatsta open !! I must congradulate them on this !! All is well in improving the place, afterall, im sure it will make good council offices eventually !! We all know that judging council figures (such as the high school saga) that the £8M price tag will probably turn out nearer £20Million !! One wonders where this will financially place them - will this mean yet more increases in council tax ?? As for this factor not affecting their decision , i also wonder why the decisions have been deferred so many times, as if the councils investment has not prevented them moving why spend £8Million ?? (which could have been more wisely spent).. One last point on this thread, its all fine and well improving the runway and extending it, but come any sort of decent cross wind or lack of wind, they are still knackered.. And we will still constantly see 146's having more seats spare than actuall travellers Lets ALL HAIL to DREW on his final involvement for the Northern Area Of Shetland !!
