OIC experiencing phone issues

A problem is currently affecting the council’s phone system, an Orkney Islands Council (OIC) spokesman has confirmed.

It means calls cannot be made to a number of OIC sites including:

• The Council Offices at School Place in Kirkwall.
• Papdale Primary School
• Orkney Ferries
• Orkney Library
• Business Gateway

Work is underway to restore phone services. In the meantime, if folk have an urgent need to contact the council please send an email to customerservice@orkney.gov.uk
