Lerwick Community Council has serious concerns about the safety issues relating to the remote air traffic control service that is proposed by HIAL.

We should be trying to decentralise highly paid jobs from the Central Belt. This is doing the opposite.

In addition to the loss of jobs in remote communities it will introduce large areas of controlled airspace in remote areas of Scotland that will impact General Aviation in particular.

How long must remote communities continue to suffer from this outside-in perspective which takes away the services which help bind us together?

Centralising services not for efficiency but to allow closer political control.

I believe this is a safety issue and should be abandoned. It will also remove high paid jobs on the islands

Safety before profit. Scottish Government must get involved and engage with unions particularly Prospect, who know have members with skills and expertise in this field.

This proposal is ridiculous. If it is such a great idea then why dont we turn this idea on its head and "control" HIALs airports from the islands? After all Scotlands political foundations are entwined in supporting the remote regions. Get a grip HIAL!

Absolutely diabolical idea no regards towards people's safety madness of the first degree

Please, for all our safety, halt the transfer to Inverness
