East West Railway Company has launched its third non-statutory consultation for East West Rail, seeking feedback to inform its updated proposals.
Cllr Liz Leffman, Chair of England's Economic Heartland said: “East West Rail will transform the way people can sustainably access jobs, skills, leisure and housing across the region. Our world class universities, science parks and knowledge-intensive businesses will finally be linked together: fuelling innovation, attracting inward investment, creating prosperity and boosting economic growth. The launch of this consultation represents a significant milestone for a project the region has campaigned for over several decades. It is crucial that people now respond to the proposals. We must ensure the scheme which is delivered is planned, built and operated in a way which leaves the best possible legacy for our communities, businesses, environment and wider transport system.”
