The group is being set up to promote Ashchurch Station and press for improvements to the services and facilties for the station. We believe the station has enormous potential due to its good road links and car parking. People from all over North Gloucestershire and South Worcestershire would be able to use it but it needs better services.
 
We will press the rail companies to stop more at the station and will also lobby the Department of Transport and local bus companies for improvements. We will work with local authorities, local business groups and local communities.
 
The organisation will be non-political and will engage with rail operation companies and other interested parties in a non-confrontational and constructive manner.
 
We had our preliminary meeting on Tuesday and are arranging a full public meeting on Tuesday, 23 February at the Ray Shill Building, Northway Parish Council Offices, Lee Walk, Northway, Tewkesbury starting at 7 pm where there will be invited speakers.
 
Any advice or previous experiences will be greatly received.

Thanks in anticipation
