Alicia Kearns MP has launched a survey of residents on rail provision in Bottesford and the Melton area.
She said: “When I was elected I promised to improve our local transport networks. I’m prioritising making the A1 safer, and supporting infrastructure for greener transport across Melton, but I also want to improve our local train services.
“I have submitted two bids to the Department for Transport’s ‘Restore Your Railway’ fund. . My first bid seeks to bring more regular services to Bottesford on the Poacher Line having heard residents’ concerns on the doorstep countless times. The second bid I submitted calls for increased services to Nottingham and Leicester, via Syston and Loughborough from Melton Mowbray. This will better connect residents travelling for both business and leisure purposes and reduce some of the frankly bizarre route and changes residents currently have to endure.”
