THE Sandbanks ferry has announced price rises for vehicles from April 1.

After a successful toll application to put ticket prices up, the cost for a car will increase from £3.50 to £3.80 and a truck from £7 to £7.60.

The Bramble Bush Bay chain ferry which crosses the harbour entrance between Sandbanks and Studland carrying 48 cars, underwent its routine maintenance at the end of last year.
