Additional £6.5m approved for ferry terminal

Mon, 22 Jul 2019

Additional finance for the building of the new ferry terminal in Liverpool has been agreed by Tynwald.

A budget of no more than £26.8m for the ferry terminal has been agreed, bringing the total cost to taxpayers of more than £38m.

The cost is £6.5m more since the planning application was approved three months ago.

The extra money is needed for additional structural and construction works required to deal with the existing site as well as the quay walls.
