6 | Network Rail proposals for Bramley Level Crossing |
|
|
Cllr Durrant summarised comments from the previous PC meeting, and assured residents that comments and question will be fed back to Network Rail in writing.
Cllr Ansell noted that BDBC have proposed a meeting with Network Rail, HCC, BDBC and the Parish Council on 14th October. However, this has not been confirmed. The following further comments were made by residents:
Cllr Robinson noted that the idea of a station at Chineham is being driven by BDBC and not Network Rail. There is nothing in the Local Development Plan about closing the station at Bramley. Cllr Robinson also pointed out that whilst he does not wish to see it, eventually Bramley crossing will need to close due the increase in freight traffic on the line. He will be doing everything he can to ensure that a suitable road structure is in place before any closure. A bypass will cost around £25million.
Clerk to place Network Rail website details on the Parish Council website. |
