Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Patricia Ferguson (Labour), on Tuesday, 17 June 2025, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 2 members in total.
Closure of the Renfrew Ferry
That this House notes that the historic Renfrew Ferry has ceased making crossings of the River Clyde between Renfrew and Yoker; further notes that a ferry made this journey for over two hundred years with the current service being in operation for over one hundred years; expresses thanks to the staff and Clydelink operators who provided a boat service carrying pedestrians and cyclists across the River Clyde seven days a week, without public subsidy; also notes the importance of the ferry in connecting the communities of Renfrew and Yoker; and recognises that the Renfrew Ferry had become redundant after the opening of the new Renfrew Bridge, and was the last regular ferry service across the Clyde.
