The proposed changes at Penzance Harbour that currently accommodates the IOS ferry link is now under threat. The Guardian published full account of the dilemma Penzance faces.
Last night the plans were rejected by Cornwall Council’s Strategic Planning Committee in a packed meeting in St John’s Hall in Penzance. Of greatest concern to the residents of Penzance are threats by the Steamship Company to up sticks and take the Scillonian (or its planned replacement) to Falmouth Harbour. Anyone who knows the area nautically speaking doubts the reality of this - the journey would be almost twice the distance and involve a trip round the Lizard - not the best place to be in inclement weather!
