Rejected petition Look at Wightlink and their pricing as it has become extortionate.
I wanted to go to Portsmouth as my daughter lives there, I cannot due to wighlink's pricing which is a lot of the time is double red funnels pricing!
More details
Wightlink provide ferry crossing to Portsmouth and Lymington from the IOW. As residents we have no choice in using their services if we need to travel to those locations ( Red Funnel who seem to be offering residents a proper discount on occasion to Southampton, however Southampton is not everyone's desired location due to extra travel afterwards) Wightlink have made their prices so high that a lot of the residents can no longer afford to use them, which restricts their travel and plans that are mainland based.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The price of ferry crossings is the responsibility of ferry companies, not the Government or Parliament.
If you would like the Government or Parliament to have the power to regulate ferry prices, you could start a new petition asking for that.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
