Local News for Thursday 26th January 2012Unfair delivery anger Over 3,000 people responded to Citizens Advice Scotland’s survey on unfair delivery charges before the campaign closed this week. Officials are now planning the campaign’s next moves after the unprecedented response. They say the campaign is only just beginning, and they intend to get companies to change their ways. CAS Head of Policy Susan McPhee said: “We knew this was an important issue, but frankly we’ve been taken aback by the scale of the response. There is massive anger about this not just in the Highlands and Islands, but southern Scotland and the north east as well. This is about basic fairness. People feel they are being discriminated against just because of where they live. All they want is to be treated fairly. They want companies to obey the law, and they want delivery charges to be based on the actual cost of delivery. That’s all.” In a timewarp with Ian Dury on Isles FM!In a special feature for Isles FM, Annie Delin presents an archive exclusive of an interview she conducted with Ian Dury in 1989.
