Texel subsidy for families to end as ferry port upgrade is funded
◆1 source
The subsidy for the voluntary organisation Texel Families is set to end permanently on 1 October 2027. A motion to retain it was not expected to pass, amid concerns that professional organisations are inaccessible during crises outside office hours.
Texel will also spend €500,000 on upgrading the TESO ferry ports. The ports were described as essential to the island, with a need to maintain a good level of service.
