Survey Results

First and foremost it is important to state the overwhelming message of gratitude and thanks communicated by each LA in recognition of the funding support provided by UK and Scottish Governments to businesses and community groups during the pandemic. There is a strong belief that many island businesses would already have failed in absence of these support mechanisms.

LAs also universally reinforced messaging previously shared with the Minister for Energy, Connectivity and the Islands through the Islands Strategic Group; confirming that the Strategic Objectives and Commitments within the NIP continue to be relevant and provide the potential to deliver positive outcomes for our island communities.
