As constituents are aware, I have been pressing for a lift and accessibility improvements at Sleaford Station for some time and was delighted when Sleaford was included on a list of schemes for early development by the previous Government in May 2024.
In June, I pressed the Secretary of State in the House of Commons for action on the feasibility works for this scheme, as Network Rail had told me that they were stuck and still awaiting the funding to do these studies at the station.
Following my question to her in the Commons, I'm pleased that the Secretary of State has sent me the below letter today, confirming that these works have now been completed.
It's disappointing that she has reiterated what she said to me in the Commons about the fact she does not anticipate all 50 of the schemes identified will receive funding to be built. I’ll keep pressing the Government to give Sleaford station the go ahead for much needed improvements for our area and keep you updated.
