The Scottish Parliament’s Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change Committee is holding an inquiry into ferry services in Scotland.

The Committee's inquiry will investigate issues including:

• Ferry routes – how useful are current ferry routes and what potential is there for new routes
• Frequency and timetabling of services – are ferry services run at times which are convenient to ferry users?
• Capacity – is there sufficient capacity on routes to meet the requirements of ferry users?
• Integration with other transport modes – how well does this work in practice?
• Competition – how has this affected ferry services?

The Committee issued a call for views on issues relating to ferry services in Scotland and the consultation closed on 25th April 2008.   Jim Lees on behalf of the Arran Council for Voluntary Service submitted our view.  To download PDF file click SubmissionfromArranCouncilforVoluntaryServices170308.
