No Condor agreement before review complete
GOVERNMENT is working towards signing a service level agreement with Condor, Economic Development president Peter Ferbrache said as he reassured colleagues that his committee was keen to ensure the island's ferry service was reliable.
Deputy Ferbrache said his committee was aware of the concerns of many hoteliers with regard to the impact of Condor's problems on visitor numbers.
He said the committee was working closely with the Jersey authorities to ensure there was a reliable and robust service.
'Together with Jersey, we have engaged with Condor on a comprehensive, and I emphasise that word, service review due for completion at the end of this autumn,' he said.
'This will involve consultation with a wide range of users and will gather information to help shape the future of the island's service.
'The committee will work towards signing a service agreement with Condor, but we have no anticipation that this will be until the outcome of the review is known, which we intend to publish.'
He said it would be unrealistic to assume that Condor's problems had not had an impact on tourism.
That had to be addressed now and in the future.
