In this week’s edition of The Orcadian

This week’s edition of The Orcadian is now available at all the usual outlets and online, here.

This week’s front page features stories on:

• Concerns over the number of cruise liner passenger numbers are raised as Orkney Islands Councillors are given an update on a study of the tourism industry in Orkney.

• After last week’s report of a council house solar panel project that lost thousands of pounds, the local authority has dismissed rumours that panels, installed as part of the council’s £57 million Schools Investment Programme, are not working.

Also in this week’s paper:

• Problems with the Churchill Barriers are back in the spotlight as a local campaigner claims that cars damaged while crossing the barriers in recent stormy weather are going unreported.

• Cheaper ferry fares by the end of 2017? The local council convener thinks it could be on the cards.

• Plans for a celebration of the bicentenary of Stromness being officially decreed a Burgh of Barony are launched.

• Are the Faroe Isles Europe’s best kept secret? They just might be. Decide for yourself with our three-page travel feature.
