STATUS: Afield visit checks the posted rule against the route residents actually use. The current arrangement remains in place at the shared landing between Bellwater and Northmere.
RECORD: the charter, crew rota and intercity passenger log. The count is 53 crossings completed under the shared timetable; the prior window recorded 51.
DISPUTE: Each council says its clock is the public standard. Passengers need a departure time both ferry offices can honor.
OUTCOME: The hearing is still open and no permanent rule has changed.
NEXT: The Year fourth, market fall window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. Both councils will publish a side-by-side clock conversion for the trial schedule.
