DATE SET FOR PRESENTATION OF PETITION TO PARLIAMENT

Middlewich Rail Link Campaign has welcomed the news that the date has been set for the presentation to Parliament of our petition calling for the re-opening of Middlewich Station.

Congleton MP Fiona Bruce's office has announced that this will take place at 7pm on the 20th March, which, coincidentally happens to be Budget Day.
 The title which it has been allocated by the Journal Office is 'Reopening Middlewich Station to passengers'.
Our thanks once again to Fiona Bruce and to everyone who signed the petition and helped with its organisation, helping us reach yet another milestone on the road to a new station for Middlewich.

    I'm unfamiliar with these sorts of politics, so I could be far off, but I don't suppose this will be broadcast on BBC Parliament, will it?

    I don't know, but it will certainly be recorded in Hansard and the petition itself sent to the Department of Transport which will then issue a statement regarding it.

    Yes. Fiona Bruce has promised to send me a copy of the Minister's response as soon as she gets it and we'll be reporting back on this site.
