2 Matters Arising
Regarding the level crossing on Womersley Road, a letter has been received from J Grogan MP, Yvette Cooper and Network Rail about the problem of the time that the level crossing is down. Apparently the reason for the length of time the crossing is down is because the train drivers are making unscheduled relief stops. A letter is to be sent to Network Rail and in the meantime continue monitoring the level crossing.
