FERRY passengers in Inverclyde have just one week left to have their say on how services could be improved.

Transport Scotland’s consultation on the future of the Clyde and Hebrides networks closes on March 8.

The consultation was launched in December by transport minister Fiona Hyslop to inform the development of the new Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services Contract.

In her foreword, Ms Hyslop said: “In terms of value and importance to our island communities, this is one of the most significant contracts this Government will enter into, and as such it is vital that communities have the opportunity to contribute and help us shape the future of these vital ferry services.”
