Orkney’s MSP Liam McArthur has welcomed the announcement that the British Gas Energy Trust will be awarding £328,999 in funding to THAW (Tackling Household Affordable Warmth) Orkney.
Reacting to the news that VisitScotland plan to close the tourist ‘iCentre’ in Kirkwall by 2026 as part of a national reorganisation, Orkney’s MSP Liam McArthur said:
High up in the atrium at KGS, the voices of the Orkney Rocks choir were ringing out last Saturday morning. Music full of joy enough to lift the soul, although in some senses it felt at odds with the nature of the event I was there to attend.
