Hi All,
I live on street lane which I have all my life. I have been trying to get the line reopened this last 4 years. I have collected 320 name who also want the line to be reopened but the council have stone walled me.
It seems as the council have made there mind up to rip the track up as they have already started in some spots, the coucil stated that the line would stay down till the end of the year so the money can be raised in which gave time for a 'backer' to come forward,
I have wrote to Philip Hammond about the line and also had a reply back from him HE WROTE HE IS QUITE HAPPY FOR THE RAIL LINK TO REOPEN AS LONG AS SOME ONE COMES UP WITH THE FUNDS
The council want a 'GREEN WAY' for a foot path and cycles.
Which would be better, a train to take people in to derby or a long walk way for dogs, as that will all it will be used for!!.
Please is there any of you who will help to get this line back in to use, all we need is to raise money and volounters to get this lineback
