The Debate: Should we build a road on the Island of Struay?

We have been learning about living on an island just like Katie Morag who lives on the Isle of Stuay. Today we were talking about transport on the island and comparing it to transport in Otley. We decided to have a debate: Should we build a road on the Island of Struay? We had a group of old islanders, a group of young islanders and a group of councillors. Each group got together to discuss their reasons for or against building a road, then we held our meeting.
See the pictures below.






At the end of the meeting we had a vote and it was decided that a road would be beneficial to the island because it would make all parts of the island more accessible and it would bring more visitors to the island and therefore more money.
