(Belleisle Ferry is one of three on chopping block – file photo)
Add another voice to those concerned about the loss of the Belleisle, Hampstead and Gagetown ferries at the end of the month.
Donald Paterson lives in Hampstead and hauls wood chips with his father from Sussex to Saint John.
He estimates with-out the ferry in Bellisle, he’ll lose one thousand dollars every week.
Paterson tells CHSJ News, it’s a two driver truck and with the current log book laws, they can’t change the amount of time he and his father can be behind the wheel — and — he says if the ferries are taken off the water, he may be forced to move from his home as well.
The Save the Ferry group is currently putting together idea’s to bring to the Province before the end of the month when the vessels are due to be tied up permanently.
