Dear all,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in the Parkside 2010 Alliance. Those of you who have so far joined the Alliance, or attended one our launch events will know the strength of the proposals for the Strategic Rail Freight Interchange. You will also know the very real benefits it will bring to the local area and its importance to the local, regional and national economies as well as the environmental benefits.
These proposals are now gaining support from a wide range of organisations and individuals, and the Alliance is crucial in giving these supporters a voice.
Parkside 2010 provides a means for people to find out more and show their support without fear of getting caught up in the highly polarised local debate that inevitably comes with significant projects like Parkside.
The attendance and enthusiastic discussion at both launch events shows that there is not only cross party support in Westminster, but support among the local community too. Most local people welcome investment in the area, new jobs and training and open space which families, anglers, horse riders, and schools will be able to use.
This is the first in a series of regular newsletters to Alliance members and supporters, intending to keep you informed as to latest developments regarding the proposals, and highlighting ways in which you can help promote the benefits of Parkside 2010.
I look forward to working with you all over the next few weeks and months to demonstrate the wide ranging support for the proposals. If you have any questions, would like further information about the proposals or know of other organisations who would interested in joining the Alliance please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours faithfully,
John Evans
Chair of Parkside 2010 |
