Corran Narrows Socio-economic Study (ECI Executive summary)

as presented to members of the Economy and Infrastructure Committee (02 Dec)

The purpose of the study is to provide a comprehensive statement of the socio-economic role of the Corran Ferry in meeting the needs of Residents, Businesses and Visitors / Tourists who use the ferry. It will also form part of the outline business case, that will support and justify both the internal and external case for capital and revenue investment in the service in the short/medium-term, whilst continuing to make the case for a fixed link in the long-term.

It should be noted that following on from additional feedback from the Corran Ferry Steering Group (as presented previously through LA Committee – 09 Aug 2021) Stantec have amended the Full report to capture local views regarding additional data-based changes in journey time not telling the full story.
