The Nationalist Party has called on Gozo Channel to reconsider its decision to stop the ferry service between Mgarr and Sa Maison, which was used mainly for the carriage of cargo.
It said the service was stopped today without public announcement.
As a consequence, it said, trucks and other heavy vehicles would use the roads at St Paul's Bay and Mellieha to reach the ferry at Cirkewwa, adding to road congestion.
