Dear Sir,

Lerwick, 16th February 2009
Delivery of Salt to Shetland

I am writing to say thank you very much for helping us to get rock salt from Orkney to Shetland last week at very short notice. It was very reassuring to get that extra reserve from Orkney here and available should it be needed.

The weather forecast for this week is now better than we were told last week and a promise of a ship load of salt from our supplier for next weekend means that we should now be okay for the remainder of the winter.

So thank you again for your part in getting salt up to us and please pass on my sincere thanks to all staff involved - it is very much appreciated.

Yours faithfully,

Ian Halcrow, Head of Roads, Infrastructure Services Dept. Shetland Islands Council
