Cutting the Northcote ferry service is really frustrating, as the service has been beset with so many cancellations, delays and non-arrivals due to driver shortages and weather, that many people no longer risk using it in case they get stuck at the wharf. Instead of cancelling the service, it should be improved.
I was part of a contingent of Kaipātiki Local Board members, Councillors and the local MP who convinced the AT board to fund the rebuild of the Northcote Wharf in 2018, after the old wharf was condemned. The new wharf finally re-opened in 2021 after being closed for 2.5 years.
However AT opted not to provide an all-weather wharf, which is what the Kaipātiki Local Board wanted (and offered to part fund). This has resulted in more cancellations than could have been had the wharf received proper investment at the time, but should not now be used to justify the closure of the ferry service.

🗣 Please have your say before Thursday 17 August: at.govt.nz...
