A multimillion pound project has been announced to enhance Shetland’s deep-water port capabilities. Lerwick Port Authority said the first phase involving soft-dredging of the harbour would begin this month, followed by a hard dredge to be completed by the end of the year. The £3.2m development will see 450,000 cubic metres of material removed and disposed of at a site north of Bressay. It will deepen the central area of the port, in addition to areas at Dales Voe.

A charity which operates across Dewsbury and north Kirklees has been highly praised by the King’s representative in West Yorkshire after receiving a top royal honour. Uniform Exchange received the King’s Award for Voluntary Service – the equivalent of an MBE - for the outstanding work done by its volunteers to provide free second-hand school uniform to anyone who needs it throughout Kirklees, including some of the most deprived areas in the UK.
