A PUBLIC meeting has been organised at Culcheth to discuss remaining fears over the controversial HS2 Golborne Link.
Culcheth And District Rail Action Group Chair Frank Allen, CADRAG said: Iit is becoming clear that the Government has not yet dropped it entirely from its plans for HS2.
Frank added: “We were all very relieved to hear that the Government has taken the Golborne Link out of the Hybrid Bill authorising the next stage of HS2 construction, from Crewe to Manchester. However, it is becoming clear that the Golborne Link has not yet been dropped entirely from the Government’s plans. Although the majority of the Link has been removed, its junction with the HS2 line from Crewe to Manchester has been retained. This will allow the Golborne Link to be added at a later date if the Government so decides.
“We are naturally concerned about this and are holding an information and discussion meeting on Friday September 23rd at the Village Club, Wigshaw Lane, Culcheth, starting at 7.30 pm. Everyone is welcome to come along, hear more about the current situation, and let us know what you think.”
