THE COUNCIL is set to hold a series of engagement exercises across Shetland to ask the public what they want to see prioritised over the next five years. Chief executive Maggie Sandison and ward councillors are set to hold the drop-in events in locations around the isles later this year. That comes as the council continues to work on its draft energy strategy, which elected members decided not to approve last week. Lyall said the council had heard the public’s views on specific energy projects – but never their “general views on this whole area”. Sandison said the SIC had committed to a series of community engagement events before the end of the year, which would take place in each council ward.
