Public meeting to discuss ferry service cuts this Thursday

As mentioned at the end of last month, at a meeting of the Isle of Wight Trades Union Council, it was agreed to hold a public meeting on the issue of the Wightlink ferry services.

The meeting will be held at the Football Club in Newport on Thursday 3rd January 2013 at 7pm.

As readers will remember, Wightlink Ferries are planning to reduce the amount of sailings on all their routes from the New Year.

The IW TUC is of the opinion that the reduction in the frequency of ferry sailings will be to the detriment of all who live on the Island. They say it will also affect the people who have to travel off the Island for work.

Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting and have their say.
