Pressure continues to mount when it comes to reopening the Colne to Skipton railway line
A Lancashire business leader will address the next meeting of a campaign group calling for the reopening of the former Colne to Skipton railway line.
In contrast, the Skipton and Aire Valley district just 12 miles away is more buoyant and benefits from extensive commuter train services to Leeds and Bradford. Earlier this year, it unveiled a £298million budget for the proposed new line, including £80million earmarked for any risks. They said it was a modest budget compared to massive government schemes.
He claimed the plan clashed with comments by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Chancellor Jeremy Hunt in Accrington earlier this year on levelling-up. SELRAP is supported by businesses including electricity generator Drax, Skipton Building Society and Peel Ports, which owns various ports including Heysham and Liverpool.
