Call to form legal pressure group for Sunday public services         13/7/09

Sir,

On page 66 of the council’s structure plan in big bold letters is.

“ the need to maximise accessibility to services for all residents”

http://www.cne-siar.gov.uk/eds/documents/structure_plan.pdf

So how can the council give 100% to 23% of the population and then deny 77% of the population 14% of the time?

After a very pleasant week sailing round Skye, I have returned to see the ongoing debate. I have to point out to Mr. Macleod, in my previous letter I explained there is a difference between "Campaign" and "campaign".

I believe it is legal in this country to campaign for anything, and yes it is obvious that I am campaigning for a ferry to run 7 days a week, thus maximising accessibility for all residents of this island. Indeed there are others too who hold the same opinion as I do (some of whom are friends) and yes, they too are campaigning.

For John Macleod to publicly print an e-mail that was not sent to him is a bit out of order, however there is nothing in that email that is illegal, evil, wrong, or Machiavellian.

A "Campaign" would have to have a constitution, monies, a committee etc. Now there is an idea. Anyone who fancies forming a legal pressure group, please e-mail me on acdarling@btinternet.com and we will see what we can do to maximise accessibility to services for all residents of the island of Lewis.
