Police to be called in over Arran ferries 'scandal' as fears mount island could be 'irreparably harmed'

Angry North Ayrshire councillors are demanding answers to delays to the construction of two ferries which are well overdue and over budget.

MSPs on the Scottish Parliament’s public audit committee are currently investigating why two new vessels, including the Glen Sannox, which is to serve Arran, are well overdue and over budget.

A motion proposed by Ardrossan Labour councillor Amanda Kerr read: “In light of allegations made in the BBC Scotland Disclosure episode, the Great Ferries Scandal, which relates to the procurement of two including the Glen Sannox, Council instructs the Chief Executive to write to Chief Constable Sir Iain Livingstone of Police Scotland, requesting that the force carries out a full and thorough investigation into all aspects of the ferries procurement process."
