The Campaign Continues.

The Campaign Group CREAM, still as a job of work to do?

Its now time to refocus on being a stakeholder rather that an opposition group:

Roy Cartlidge Chairman explains:

After the planned moving of Crewe Station by Network Rail and others have now been dropped.

It is now time to look ahead and focus on the new Masterplanning project that will involve looking at the whole picture not just the Railway Station.

The current debate looks at future spatial, economic and transport priorities for Crewe.

This will also look at a regeneration package which will be the development of a high-level vision for Crewe and hopefully put in prospective its regional importance via a business case for major public sector investment from regional and national government.

Discussions will take place soon to get a consensus on this issue so that clarity and awareness on the true economic and connectivity to this key gateway are realised.

In the light of news in the railway media about a new study that backs a call For High Speed 2 and looks at a proposal for high speed diverging line to Warrington and Liverpool but does not mention Crewe?

With this in mind it is imperative to use the lobbying skills of our organisation CREAM to ensure that we get a slice of the action and not become a railway backwater.

CREAM is an organisation made up of wide range of support from local rail user groups, Trade Unions along with concerned environmentalists and local businesspeople.

It is meeting on Saturday the 26^th of September 2009 at the Royal Hotel Nantwich Road Crewe from 10:30 am
