Riddoch Questions in Stornoway

Here’s a bit of advance notice about this week's edition of Riddoch Questions on Radio Scotland...

Tomorrow Lesley Riddoch will be in the Western Isles, asking why Stornoway ¾±²õ²Ô’t making the news this week with a Sunday sailing of the Cal Mac Ferry to the mainland.

Many people involved with this week's had hoped for a one-off Sunday ferry service this year. But Cal Mac say they won’t consider that until they are asked "properly."

Is it time to hold a referendum on Lewis to see whether the majority are now in favour of Sunday sailings? Planes started flying on Sundays back in 2002, a Sunday sailing operates from Harris to the south and a recent report found that Sunday operations would provide the biggest single boost to the island's economy.

But would 7 day access destroy a way of life? And if most Lewis people don’t believe that who should act? The Council, Cal Mac, the government or the Churches?

Join Lesley on Friday from 1:15pm on . You can email your thoughts to lesley@bbc.co.uk, or call the programme after 1:00pm on 0500 92 95 00. The text number is 80295.
