Have your say on the new Elland Rail Station.
Residents and businesses are being invited to have their say on the latest plans for the proposed new rail station and accompanying access improvements in Elland.
The planned station would support existing local businesses and attract new ones, generating economic growth and jobs for Elland.
It would be located on the existing Calder Valley route (Leeds – Huddersfield Line) to the west of Lowfields Way and adjacent to the A629, Calderdale Way.
Alongside the station development, a series of accompanying improvements known as the ‘Access Package’ are also planned, to enhance walking and cycling access to the new station from across the town and the wider area.
Feedback from this consultation will be used to inform further development before the planning application for the project is submitted - provisionally planned for autumn 2020.
The latest proposals and engagement survey is available at https://www.yourvoice.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/elland2020. The survey will close at midnight on Sunday 16 August 2020.
I would encourage all residents to have their say on these proposals.
