Plans to reopen the Gobowen to Oswestry railway line are set to move forward after being given the green light by the Government.
The reopening will be financed from the £36 billion of savings as a result of the cancellation of HS2 beyond Birmingham.
Helen said: “This is fantastic news and will be celebrated in Oswestry, Gobowen and all the surrounding areas.“Everyone involved in compiling the bid deserves a huge round of applause. Simon Baynes, the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for North Shropshire, also welcomed today’s announcement. “I am very proud and pleased that the Prime Minister and the Conservative government are delivering for the long term future of North Shropshire.”For general enquiries and press releases email [email protected] or call 01743 818 095.This website uses cookies to improve your experience and serve advertisements that pay for the running of this website.
