Councillor Aileen Morton said:
鈥淧站色情片 delivers a number of services other councils don鈥檛 have to, for example ferry services. We have been doing a lot of work therefore to raise awareness of P站色情片 and Bute鈥檚 unique challenges with decision-makers.
I am pleased that the Minister for Energy, Connectivity and the Islands listened to what we had to say and is providing an additional 拢954,000 for P站色情片 ferry services.
拢500,000 of this funding will be used to provide a new ferry for Lismore; the rest will support the continuation of ferry services to a number of our islands.鈥
The Leader and Chief Executive of P站色情片 met with Paul Wheelhouse, Minister for Energy, Connectivity and the Islands in January this year.
The announcement comes in advance of the Council setting next year鈥檚 budget this Thursday 27 February.
Councillor Morton said:
鈥淲e鈥檙e glad to see our island ferry services receive fair funding. While we will continue to discuss the potential transfer to Transport Scotland this funding removes one element of the financial pressures we face this year.鈥
