Weekly digest: May 30. This week's edition is exclusively about the launch of the 'Access to Toton' report. This report sets out ambitious proposals for new infrastructure into the new Hub Station and is well worth a read. https://t.co/iNe3zwRSsk
@Beeestonia Yes, we had similar experience next to Toton Fields LNR a couple of years ago. I think it is the contractors are given poor information/advice on what to mow and what to leave well alone. Without clear advice the impulse is to mow everything to make it look 'tidy'! 😏🤨😡
@chris_emerson@kylotan@DoandDieForThe1@LilianGreenwood Yes, Chris is right. Planning underway to operate classic rail services at Toton alongside HS2. Furthermore the Forum has suggested that a new dedicated classic service needs to be created between Toton and East Midlands Airport to enable fast transit between HS2 and the airport.
@FunPhil@Beeestonia No, it'll also be good for Nottingham as it will mean lot faster times to Birmingham & the northern cities. It should’ve never been promoted as a way to shave 20 mins or so off times to London.
@kylotan@DoandDieForThe1@chris_emerson@LilianGreenwood But the combined populations of Toton, Chilwell, Stapleford, Sandiacre and Long Eaton certainly outweigh the village populations surrounding East Midlands Parkway 😉
@piersmorgan@Anna_Soubry Piers, I’m honoured to reach the heights of your radar screen. Yes, I’m a LibDem. In 2016 I campaigned for close economic ties to EU but nothing more so ended up voting 'Leave'. I told local LibDems how I voted soon after. LibDems welcome divergent views, thank God. End of story.
@Anna_Soubry Great support. Many thanks Anna for always making time for the Forum and your ongoing support for us in Parliament and beyond - despite your hectic schedule and national priorities.
@veereek Well, Veeree, I’m certainly going to miss you at Lombardy Lodge each polling day! As well as good memories when I was briefly at the council (was it really over 10 years ago).
All the very best with the next phase of life’s journey....
@DrinksAmber@CTTCNF It’s been a great pleasure to work with a lot of dedicated and inspiring colleagues - like @DrinksAmber - to bring together our Plan. Hopefully it will resonate with the community of Toton and Chilwell and will set the template for development in our Area for years to come.
@faithella71 It will be good to have you back home. Really glad everything worked out well (even the ‘lows’ are good experience) during your time in Madrid.
@MidsConnect Yes, and exactly the same approach needed at East Midlands Hub station at Toton. Must be fully multi-modal interchange including a direct rail link between the station and East Midlands airport
