Local List SPD - Discussion & Consultation Document
Representation ID: 27953
Received: 05/05/2011
Respondent: Ms Jean Townsend
Local railway stations are shabby. Government could negotiate renovation with Railtrack, which is not an impeccable business left to itself. For some reason Rochford station is included in the list yet Rayleigh and Hockley are not. None of these stations should be allowed to have bad alterations or additions, as has happened with the concrete beside Southend station. When the rail service becomes really dynamic the solution may be to rebuild the stations, but not in the strange, futuristic style of the airport station.
