Yet another deeply informative article in the Somerset County Gazette by Daniel Mumby.
‘Plans to deliver a new railway station in rural Somerset remain “sat on a shelf” in Whitehall, Somerset Council has confirmed’.
Our very own Chair – Phil Edge – made his plea when the council’s executive committee met in Taunton on Wednesday 1st April. “Bearing all this in mind, and given Somerset Council’s stated priorities on connectivity and sustainable growth, why has the Somerton and Langport station re-opening, which is backed by a positive business case and strong local and parliamentary support, been omitted from the delivery plan? Will the executive now commit to formally including and supporting this project?”
