Have you heard about my campaign to make sure that Kirkstall gets a railway station?

Kirkstall Forge closed in 2002, and has since become one of the most exciting development projects in the city. With 1,000 houses, a hotel shops and offices, the mixed use development promises jobs and housing for our area.

Developers CEG have pledged £4m to support the construction of a railway station as part of the project - something that is crucial to making the scheme become a reality.

I am campaigning to make sure that the Department for Transport does not cut the station during the budget cut backs - because I think it has the potential to improve public transport for Leeds West and bring economic opportunity to our area.

Where do you fit in?

You can write to the Transport Secretary, Phillip Hammond, at Great Minster House, 76 Marsham Street, London, SW1P 4DR, outlining your support for the scheme, or sign my petition by emailing rreevesmp@gmail.com with 'Kirkstall Forge' in the subject header.
