Falkland In Focus | Week 762

In this week’s programme, Rockhopper Exploration remains hopeful for a final investment decision on the Sea Lion oil project by the end of the year. Planning permission has been granted for 111 new housing plots on Sapper Hill, and MLA John Birmingham attends the UK Labour Party conference.

We also bring you coverage of the first cruise ship of the 2025/26 season arriving in Stanley, and news from the courts. The Agricultural Department announces that 85% of Falklands wool will be RWS certified, and SAERI conducts research into illex abundance.

After the break, MLA Gavin Short speaks on World Heart Day, we explore the history of Sulivan House, and share the fundraising totals for the Macmillan Coffee Morning and the Penguins for Palestine plant and produce sale. Plus, we mark the anniversary of the first Islander aircraft arriving in the Falklands with FIGAS, and revisit Peat Cutting Monday with Colin Davies.
