KATE FORBES MSP has joined the protest against the higher delivery charges, saying enough is enough and urging the UK Government to act and end rip-off charges for Highlanders.
New figures reveal that Lochaber, Skye and Badenoch residents are thought to be paying almost £4 million extra a year in delivery charges compared to the rest of the UK.
According to new research from the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (SPICe), those living in the Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch constituency – which also includes Dingwall, the Black Isle and the Great Glen – pay an estimated £3.8 million more, and the figure for the entire Highlands and Islands is a whopping £33.4 million.
