To receive an update on the Ferry Service.

Members noted the submitted report which provided an update on the Brixham Express Ferry Service.  The Executive Head of Business Services advised Members that since the publication of the report the Brixham Express vessel had arrived and was undergoing checks with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency with an expectation that the vessel would be carrying passengers from the middle of July.  The challenge was to encourage the use of the ferry in order to see a sustainable change in the mode of transport used by people travelling Brixham and Torquay.
