Following a meeting this week with representatives of Network Rail, Laura has launched a survey concerning the waiting times at Thatcham Level Crossing.
Laura said:
"I know that this situation has become intolerable for many residents of Thatcham. And Network Rail agree that it is one of the busiest barrier crossings out of the 500 they have in the South East, and that it has some of the longest waiting times overall.
The next step will be developing a business plan with the relevant stakeholders and submitting this to the Department for Transport together with – what I hope they will agree- is a viable funding proposal.
To support our business case, I would be very grateful if you could complete this short survey if you are a Thatcham resident and/or use the level crossing. Residents views are crucial to getting this right."
