The Faroese Prime Minister, Aksel Johannesen, suggests that Shetland could enhance growth and island life by adopting undersea tunnels like those in the Faroe Islands. Shetland Islands Council is advancing plans for tunnels to four islands, funded by borrowing and tolls. Critics argue Scottish politicians have delayed action while the Faroes have successfully built tunnels since the 1960s. Local leaders express optimism about the potential economic benefits of tunnels, despite concerns about costs and the impact on island life.
