Knott End to Fleetwood ferry service threatened by pandemic stays afloat after £80k boost
A historic Lancashire ferry service is set to be kept afloat after council bosses pledged £80,000 in extra funding.
It has therefore been agreed that LCC and Wyre Council will increase their financial support for the service for the next four years. This means that LCC will increase its subsidy to the ferry by £10,000 to £52,103 annually, with Wyre Council matching this increased contribution. "If colleagues at Wyre Council and I had decided not to increase the funding, the service would have ceased. As a result, many of those people would have either had to drive the 12 miles or use the bus, which takes well over an hour.
