Together with the Community Councils of Mull and Iona, Mull & Iona Community Trust, North West Mull Community Woodland and South West Mull and Iona Development, we are opening a survey to measure the economic impact of recent ferry disruption.
We have heard about delivery delays and building project disruption; cancelled accommodation bookings; lower footfall as result of fewer day trippers; boat trips running with very few passengers; island exports missing deliveries; coach tours denied carriage and tourists uncertain if they can get to the island. The impact has been so significant that many have suggested that financial support will be needed.
We are inviting businesses from Mull and Iona as well as those who do business here, to complete this survey so that the scale of the economic impact can be measured.
The survey will close at midnight on Friday 2nd June. If you do business on Mull and Iona, please take a few minutes to complete it.
