Subject: FTTC At Lairg Exchange, but not Shinness

CC Gail Ross MSP, Paul Monaghan MP, Jeff Norrie

Dear Mr Nicolson,

I understand that you are lead for the current DSSB project 
which is bringing FTTC to subscribers in Scotland.

Accordingly, I am writing to you to express the great 
disappointment and concern that is felt in the Shinness 
neighbourhood at being omitted from the proposed roll-out of 
FTTC at the Lairg Exchange, to the extent that a survey of 
local premises received a comfortable majority, almost 
two-thirds, in support of petitioning for inclusion.  In the 
website linked below that I have created to support this 
submission, we argue that our community needs this upgrade in 
technology as much or more than the centre of Lairg, that to 
include us would be technically feasible, would meet a number 
of government standards, and that it ought to be done as soon 
as possible.  I trust that you will give our arguments the 
close attention that they deserve, and look favourably on our case.

Regards and best wishes for the season,
C E Macfarlane.
