Fog on a summer day puts the fear into most people’s hearts on Scilly. It means delays, unhappy passengers and late night arrivals. But a new plan drawn up by the Council may give a helping hand.
Back in June 500 visitors were left stuck on the islands after thick fog came down. This encouraged the Council to come up with a plan to stop an event like this happening again. They set up an emergency centre for people who could find accommodation but it was rumoured that one guest house charged 4 times the normal rate to unlucky fogbound passengers stuck on St Mary’s.
The plan includes a list of all accommodation available on the islands and a stall up at the airport to offer information.
