Comhairle Welcomes Marine Harvest Discussions
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has welcomed initial discussions with Marine Harvest on the company’s future plans for the Western Isles.
Leader Angus Campbell said: “It was interesting to hear the company’s plans for the future in the Islands and the possibility of additional jobs would indeed be welcome. Obviously these proposals are at a very early stage and there are many issues which will be subject to further discussions. Consultation with the Comhairle and, most importantly, with local communities, will be vital as Marine Harvest take their plans forward. Potentially there could be significant benefits for the Western Isles and we look forward to working with the company and maximising those benefits”.
