Scottish Water
My Vice-Chair attended an important meeting with Scottish Water to discuss the restrictions being placed on new house building in the Western Isles.
This is something that has exercised the Comhairle for three years, and something we are no closer to resolving.
Scottish Water refuse to upgrade the sewers and SEPA refuse to approve septic tanks meaning large parts of the islands should have no new-build whatsoever.
Thankfully, the Comhairle look at each application on its mertits, and ignore Scottish Water or SEPA in favour of the local community, where appropriate.
Iain should give us an update at Committee tomorrow.
