What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to to state how it is supporting and promoting independent vehicular ferry routes between the islands and the mainland and how the planning system is playing a constructive role in supporting the economic and social future of such routes.

What the petitioner did first

The Islay & Jura Ferry Co Ltd has had protracted correspondence between Historic Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, Argyll & Bute Council and the Scottish Government in an attempt to resolve the many and various concerns which a proposed new vehicular ferry route application appears to have provoked with these bodies. Mr. Jamie McGrigor MSP and Mr. Alan Reid MP have raised questions with these bodies on behalf of the Principals. The responses have for the most part been negative. Mr. Jim Mather MSP has been made aware of the problem.
