Outstanding residents’ ferry pass renewal forms (and two proof of residency documents, which must be no more than 3 months old) should be sent to DRD as soon as possible. The current passes expire on 3rd April and will no longer be valid for concessions after that date.
Dominic McCurdy finished his last day of work yesterday on the ferry after many years service to the island community, and will retire shortly. Congratulations and enjoy many happy years of your retirement Dominic!
The DRD has issued notification of their intention to increase the ferry fares.
The adult fares will increase to £5.80 (single) and £11.60 (return), and children 5-15 will go up to £2.90 (single) and £5.80 (return). The rest of the proposed changes can be seen in the letter reproduced below:
Please note that all residents’ passes must be renewed with the DRD by Friday 1st April. The DRD has informed us that any residents who do not renew by that date will not be able to get the residents’ discount.
