A couple of weeks ago we posted a story about NI Water requesting people on Rathlin to reduce their water usage, in light of "a significant rise in the amount of water used in the home" since lockdown, in part causing a "significant drop in water levels" across the north.
A statement from Rathlin Island Ferry Ltd. updating ferry travel arrangements:
NOTICE TO ISLAND RESIDENTS:
From Thursday 9th July 2020 – All deliveries/goods will be transported on the Spirit of Rathlin departing Ballycastle at 10.00. The Ferry Office will call to notify you of your collection. Residents will collect their goods from the vessel following crew instructions. Anyone collecting goods must adhere to the face covering policy and use hand sanitiser provided. Failure to follow to crew instructions may result in RIFL refusal to carry goods.
The RDCA committee, office staff and island community are deeply saddened to hear the news that Lucia Quinney Mee, beloved daughter of David and Rachel, and sister of Alice, has passed away in King's Hospital, London.
For compliance with Government legislation to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus by stopping non-essential travel, it is considered necessary to close Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s harbours and marinas to all leisure operations with immediate effect.
RNLI lifeboats and the Rathlin Ferry will still operate as required.
The trustees of the RDCA have taken what we hope will be seen as a sensible decision to postpone this years AGM until later in the year. We understand the meeting is overdue but hope everyone understands given the current situation.
All usual AGM business is postponed until that later time including nominations and potential elections for those wishing to join the board.
