« Rachel Pushes Ministers on Kirkstall Forge DecisionArmley Mills Film Night Raises Funds for SHELTER »

Your next calling point will be Westminster Hall

The Kirkstall Forge campaign will take another step forward on Wednesday after Rachel secured a debate on the future of the station.

Rachel will use the debate (at 11am on Wednesday) to ask the Government what plans it has for the station.

Rachel said: "I am in favour of the station and this is the next step in the campaign. It offers a substantial economic opportunity for our area, making use of a large brownfield site currently lying empty. Crucially, it will also offer a quick, sustainable journey into Leeds city centre. I will be highlighting the importance of this for our area. I will also be making clear the significant efforts that have gone into making this affordable, with a large contribution from the scheme’s developers towards the costs of the station.

The station is the key to the success of the development. The economic benefits are clear, and the potential of the site huge. I hope to get some answers from the Government about the future of the station – and what we can hope for in Kirkstall."
