Good news! Knott End Ferry to Continue! - Cat Smith

15th April, 2026

𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒! Wyre Council has agreed a way forward with the operator to allow the Fleetwood–Knott End ferry service to continue.

I’m so pleased that the ferry service has been saved for now as conversations continue, and I’d like to thank everyone involved for their efforts to keep the ferry going.

In an update, Wyre Council advise that it has been working intensively over an extended period to explore all realistic and deliverable options to protect this vital service for local communities. These discussions have now resulted in an agreed approach that will provide short term certainty for residents, businesses and visitors while further work continues on longer term arrangements.

The Council recognises the ferry’s importance as both a transport link and a valued part of the area’s identity. Work will now continue with partners to develop a sustainable long term solution, and further updates will be shared as discussions progress.
