SLEAT Transport Forum are calling for an urgent meeting with the new Scottish Transport minister.
The forum is hoping to sit down with Humza Yousaf MSP, the new minister for Transport and Islands, to bring together the Scottish Government, Transport Scotland and CalMac to resolve the continuing issues on the Mallaig-Armadale ferry service.
While the group welcomed last week’s announcement that Cal-Mac Ferries Ltd won the Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services contract, they expressed concern that disruptions with the ferry service are now not only effecting CalMac’s own customers, but the economic prosperity of the communities that are dependent on the popular service.
