They’ve gained a 30-day extension — but — residents between the Belleisle and Gagetown are planning to march on the Legislature Thursday.
The residents are protesting the pending loss of river ferries in the Belleisle – Hampstead – and – Gagetown as part of the Graham government’s cost cutting measures.
The services were scheduled to be shut down at the end of the month — but — today in the Legislature — the government announced it was delaying the shut down by a month to give residents time to come up with some options.
