Campaigning in St Ola and Kirkwall

Been out campaigning today in St Ola and Kirkwall. Raining hard. Spoke to a few people. Road safety and speed limits were raised in the Hatston, Old Finstown Road and Sunnybank area. Other issues raised were traffic management at the supermarkets (roundabout at Tescos entrance). The need for more free parking in the town centre to encourage shoppers to the town centre. Also support for pedestrianisation of the street from a street front trader. I was also told I was two faced but after a discussion we managed to figure out it may have been a misunderstanding of what happened in a private meeting at the OIC. Also praise for Homecare and Crossroads and the positive effects they are having on a disabled persons life, and the carers life too. The new team working system at Homecare has come under some criticism when it was introduced but for this couple it was working very well. Back out again tomorrow.
