Over the past few years I have been working hard with a cross-party group of local Councillors and stakeholders to make the case for opening up Eastern pedestrian access at Hitchin Train Station. I have engaged extensively on this with Ministerial colleagues to prepare the ground for a bid to the Government's Levelling Up Fund for this project.
On Wednesday I met again with stakeholders at Network Rail and our local Councils to push forwards these plans and I will continue to work to press for this project to be included in a bid from one of our local Councils for this funding.
