TARKA FERRY SERVICE A STEP CLOSER

June 17, 2008 11:28 AM

'I am delighted to be informed by the North Devon Ferry Project,' says Nick Harvey, 'that seed funding is now in place and that steady progress is being made.'

'I also understand that following last year's media interest there were many offers of support. The intention is to run a pilot scheme with a single amphibious vehicle once the money is in place.'

Dusan Beim Project Chairman recently informed Nick, 'We currently have funding pledges from two Councils, but it is conditional on a third pledging the same amount. The ferry will be called Tarka Country Ferries and operate under the local charity The Tarka Country Trust.'

Nick Harvey adds, 'I hope that the whole of North Devon will get behind this project, potentially it could completely change how we view and use the Taw, it could also be a major tourist attraction shuttling tourists up and down the river.

    If you are a resident of the North Devon constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
