Bernera Sea Run Postponed

Due to forecasted weather conditions and sea states this week, the sea run to Bernera scheduled to take place on Thursday 22^nd October, will now go ahead on Thursday 29^th October.

The aim of the run, via sea from Uigen Slipway, Uig to Valasay Slipway, Great Bernera, is to enable the topping up of oil and gas supplies in preparation for winter, and also to test this sea route should it be necessary to deploy again at short notice.

In the meantime, the Comhairle continues to make good progress with the statutory permissions required to enable the replacement bridge construction and will provide an updated timescale when these are resolved.
