Falkland In Focus | Week 759

In this week’s programme, we look at pressures surrounding the southbound Airbridge flight, and the Wool Warehouse officially opens for business. MLA Spink speaks about cross-party political support for the Falklands in the UK, while the Housing Committee backs two new options for the Housing and Tenancy Policy.

We hear about potential changes to the Illex fishery, which could move to an ITQ system, and the Agriculture Department’s new grants available through the Land Recovery Programme. There’s also reflection on the Falkland Islands Development Corporation’s recent business trip to Chile, and an exploration of LiDARS and Rotors.

After the break, ThinkFalklands launches its new website, the Fire and Rescue Service begins its retained firefighter recruitment drive, and we re-visit one former FITV members experience of a Fire Recruitment Taster Day. Plus, we celebrate Multicultural Falklands and the Festival of Lights, check in on the West Falklands Six Hills half-marathon and the Tour de Falkland, and meet Max our newest FITV recruit.
