New Italian restaurant for Kirkwall

E-mail PDF

Work is underway at 31-33 Victoria Street to convert the former Sutherland the Chemists shop into an Italian restuarant and dwelling unit. Planning permission for the changes was granted in March of this year, with the property selling for almost £200,000 in May.

The extensive building works will see a new main entrance appear in the middle of the building's Victoria Street frontage, with the boarded up area to the right becoming a large window opening up into the main dining area.

 

The new restuarant is to be called Caffe Lucano, and is planned to accommodate more than 60 diners. Documents related to the planning application can be inspected online at the Council's e-planning website.

News context

Orkney was served by two local newspapers, The Orcadian, and its sister paper Orkney Today, both papers being printed and published in Kirkwall, and coming out on a Thursday, until the Orkney Today was shut down in October 2010. The Orcadian continues, with a healthy circulation of around 10,000.

Further afield, Aberdeen's Press and Journal has a Northern Isles edition and carries Orkney news, and likewise the BBC website has a North East/Northern Isles section, reflecting Orkney and Shetland's traditional transport links with Aberdeen.

Orkneycommunities.co.uk is a focal point for the websites of over 100 community groups, and they can submit their news stories and events directly to its front page. But most news in Orkney emanates from the local authority, the Orkney Islands Council.
