The Island’s MP Andrew Turner has released the exchange of letters about the funding arrangements behind Wightlink.
The Island’s MP promised to write to Macquarie following questions raised by Yarmouth resident Peter Bonnell during a recent public meeting.
Mr Turner’s letter to Nicholas Moore, Chief Executive Officer of the Macquarie Group in Sydney, Australia was answered by Gordon Parsons, Chairman of Wightlink and Senior Managing Director of Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets.
“Do not feel that perfectly reasonable questions have been answered”
Mr Turner said, “I am not commenting in detail on the content of the letters at the moment as together with a number of other people I am still analysing the information they contain. However I do not feel that perfectly reasonable questions have been answered in an open and transparent way. I am putting these letters into the public domain so that people can make up their own minds about that.
“I am now arranging to meet Mr Parsons. If any Islanders have questions about the content of his letter that they would like me to put to him, then they can write or e-mail me and I will pass their questions on to him before our meeting.”
