In the absence of any shorter routing to Ardnamurchan this ferry is a life-line in all seasons and brings many tourists to the area which otherwise would not bother to travel.

I go over to Ardmurchan regularly and have used the book of tickets for years. Also I am a member of the local Ramblers group who regularly use the ferry (and the books) to access walks. None of us would go if we had to pay the full fare on the ferry, sad but there we are.

1) The report is full of statistical errors.
2) There is no information provided on the running costs of the ferry to inform the requirement for a change in the charging structure (increasing significantly overall) - that said it does not necessarily follow that high operating costs justify significant increases as the ferry is only a small part of Highland Council's overall budgetary/service provision considerations.
3) The changes proposed to the charging arrangement for 'blue badge' holders in particular is unreasonable.
4) The charges proposed will deter regular visitors to the area (backbone to the much needed tourist trade).
5) There is no consideration given to provide concessions for residents paying local Council Tax as opposed visitors - particularly when the ferry is owned and operated by HC and the new technology proposed will feed into the HC Finance System.
6) It is not just about the individual cost increases to residents and the like but the overall knock-on effect these increases will have on those who live, work (on a part time basis) and regularly visit the peninsula.

People on fixed incomes should not subsidise the economically active frequent users. The subsidy for frequent users should be reduced in order to allow the fare for more infrequent but regular users to remain at a manageable level. The proposals as they stand are unfair and differentially punish those least able to afford an increase. Mechanisms to enable the introduction of a small fare to cyclists and pedestrians (say 50p) should be investigated.

Mr Fergus Stokes [Signature #769]

Mr Fergus Stokes, Ardgour

This proposal is unfair (rewards the employed commuter, punishes the infrequent traveller such as pensioners.) It is also damaging to the economy of the peninsula, pushing delivery costs up unwisely. Further, it threatens to shunt heavy vehicles around the A861 overland route, damaging the road and increasing accidents. The smartcard is a good plan, but users should be able to purchase journeys in any quantity at a price which is affordable and produces the budget savings needed. The £40 per month flat fee is punitive to infrequent travellers, inflexible for those whose needs may change, and negatively redistributive - it should be scrapped. Discounted smart cards by postcode (like the Highland Railcard) would rightly stop tourists from buying books as they do now. The idea that this would be unlawful is nonsense. Do the sums again: enforce the smartcard per vehicle (prevents loan of tickets), increase the discounted fare to about £2, charge pedestrians and cyclists 50p, but DONT do the flat fee for commuters while doubling charges for infreguent but essential local users. DONT force HGV's down a single track road and DONT load further delivery costs onto an already fragile economy

a book of 10 tickets is ridiculous and would increase admin surely. Our main use of the ferry is at weekends maybe 4 journeys . and in holiday times a bit more. As we are not daily users a monthly direct debit would be a waste of our money - no month is the same for us anyway. We could very easily get through book of 10 tickets in 2 weekends, but then none for the next 2. A book of 30 suits us very well.

The cost of this increase must be weighed up with the cost of the new equipment and training for the ferry crews, i would guess that the costs would take some considerable time to repay. It seems like Highland council are attempting to pay for upgrades to there systems with the hard earned money of the local community. This increase is a direct discrimination against every member of the community that might use the ferry once a week to go to town for shopping and as such completely unfair.

Has the council been listening to the Chairman of the UK Conservative party who proclaims that pensioners should be recipients of tougher policies in order to help the UK out of so called recession?
Is Highland Council going to do the Conservative party's dirty work by targetting mainly pensioners when they impose this asymmetric price rise for the Corran Ferry?
Read the news closely and you'll notice shopping habits remain very little effected and profit margins of big businesses are still healthy. Car sales are up and a certain famous chain store has announced big dividend increases for it's shareholders.
A very modest price rise for the locals including hauliers and a higher price rise for non concessionary users would be healthier for the Ferry's annual income and not hurt the elderly users who can least afford escalating prices.

As a regular visitor to the area, the fare to use the ferry is getting too expensive. we did not use the ferry as often last year due to the cost, so we are not spending money in the area supperting the local business. again this year and if the price increases we will not use it.

Ferry fares are too high already and this proposal will add to the cost of living in a rural area. No wonder young people move out of the area when at every corner they are penalised for living here. This will not only harm local business but add to personal transport costs.

Have friends and family in Ardgour and surrounding area and use the ferry considerably. Duties involved being a father/grandfather includes many trips to the 'mainland' DIY stores and to garden refuse dumps - NO collections provided.
It is crazy to add further financial burden to familys in this area where the ferry is an integral highway.

Its important to protect those people who are already using the ferry and also those who could use and depend on the ferries in the future. With rising costs all over the country we have to protect those areas that are already vulnerable to rising costs. In the long term this could jeopardise the ferry if people start thinking twice about using them because of costs - don't use them - you could lose them - and its not because they don't need them!!
