THE independent community board set up to provide an insight into the issues affecting island and rural communities for ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) has met for the first time and agreed how it will operate in the future.
Board chairman Angus Campbell said: ‘The first meeting was very positive with a lively discussion about the purpose of the board and a universal commitment to make sure it was as effective as possible.
‘The board is keen that minutes will be published online once approved so the communities represented are kept fully up to date on the topics under discussion.
