[Cllr Alex Armitage @alexjarmitage]

Great to see fare-free ferry travel being brought in for under22s the budget.

Brings equity for young folk in the isles that need to use ferries to get around.

Thanks to @ArianeBurgessHI for all the work to get this in the budget. https://t.co/C6cWn6AKIL

[Kristopher Leask @KristopherLeask]

Long overdue that free bus travel for U22's is extended to ferries - and glad to see @scottishgreens and @ArianeBurgessHI pushing for this extension

[Scottish Greens @scottishgreens]

⛴️Ferries are a vital lifeline for islanders.

🟢Greens secured a commitment to extend concessionary ferry travel to under 22s in island communities.

📈But, the SNP are yet to fulfil their promise to young islanders, and now they plan to hike ticket prices by 10%.

[Ariane Burgess @ArianeBurgessHI]

The rising cost of living on our islands has seen populations dwindling. Young people are being priced out of their hometowns.

@scottishgreens secured the extension of concessionary ferry travel last year. It was due to begin this year, but the SNP hasn't introduced it. 🧵[1/4]

[First Minister @ScotGovFM]

On Saturday, First Minister @JohnSwinney attended a performance of The Outrun at @ChurchHillThtr.

[Laurie Macfarlane @L__Macfarlane]

The Scottish Government has passed legislation permitting the introduction of rent controls

We often hear that “all economists agree rent controls don���t work”. But this is fundamentally flawed 🧵 https://t.co/dl8tTTeKcn
