With the announcement recently of plans for a high-speed rail link between Birmingham and London the need for a train station for Willenhall becomes a top priority, say Willenhall Liberal Democrats.
“Now more than ever,we need to have good transport links between Birmingham and the Black Country” said Willenhall South campaigner Dan Barker.
“A train station for Willenhall is a must if the people of Willenhall and local business are to benefit from the 68,000 new jobs predicted by experts KPMG across the West Midlands” said Dan.
Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Walsall North and former Willenhall South Focus Team member Nadia Fazal said “The benefits for the local economy and job creation would be a major boost for Willenhall. The only negative comments to the idea have come from the Tories.”
West Midlands Liberal Democrat MEP Liz Lynne who has long campaigned for a high-speed rail link between the West Midlands, London and beyond welcomed the news. “We need to move away from a growing dependence on air travel within the UK and to major cities in the EU. An expansion of the high-speed rail network will make a significant difference to our carbon footprint” said Liz.
