Residents who use the Gagetown, Hampstead and Bellisle ferries are asking the question….””What does the Future Hold for the Vessels?”” Former MLA Eric Allaby is leading a committee working on a final report with recommendations for the Department of Transportation. The report was supposed to be finalized by the end of last month, but still no word on when it will surface. Our news-room has left messages for Allaby and have yet to hear back.
A call to the Department of Transportation and it’s spokes-person says they like residents, continue to wait to get a look at the document before any final decisions are made about the future of the vessels. Residents in the affected area’s of the ferries held rallies and protested the Legislature to have the decision to scrap the vessels reversed back in the spring.
