Councillor Sharon Ball and I attended an event held at Oldfield Park Baptist Church this evening to talk with various people from Network Rail, First Great Western and the Council about plans for Oldfield Park Railway Station including the works involved in the electrification.
The teams were also keen to hear from residents about what they want for the area.
We raised a number of concerns included increases in parked vehicles on local roads and the option of access to the station from the opposite end of the platforms.
We also went for a walk around the area to discuss the conditions on the site and got agreement from the Network Rail representative to help get this mess cleared up down the lane and also get the vegetation cut right back to make the lane a brighter route to walk.
We will keep you informed for any developments as we hear about them, however, in the meantime if you have any concerns or want to discuss anything with us, please do get in touch.
