Start with the charter, crew rota and intercity passenger log. It is the source used to decide how to publish one timetable for travelers using two local clocks; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the shared landing between Bellwater and Northmere.

Known: the current file counts 44 crossings completed under the shared timetable, compared with 42 in the prior window. Anew review window opens with a dated question and a named clerk. The entries have dates and a named clerk.

Disputed: Each council says its clock is the public standard. Passengers need a departure time both ferry offices can honor. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to the timetable uses different bell names on the two banks.

Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.

Next: The Year third, market fall window 1 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Both councils will publish a side-by-side clock conversion for the trial schedule.
