We’ve just taken an incredible step forward. We have planning permission!
We are clear to go ahead and build every remaining piece of Reunification – the urban viaduct, the railway terrace bridge, the Preci Spark car park crossing and the upgrade of the old embankment on the north side of the Midland Main Line.
It’s been 11 months since our initial application but we’d like to thank Charnwood Borough Council for carefully considering our plans and you, for your supportive comments. It has been a major effort led by our volunteer project manager Larry Greenwell and our planning consultant Bob Woollard.
So what next? Well in the coming weeks we’ll be carrying out ground investigation work along the route. We’ll be drilling some deep holes – and what we find in them will shape our final plans. The work is going to cost £250,000. We’ve let the contract and to fund it, we’ll have to delve into the funds we’ve banked for construction work.
We could really do with your help to keep our building fund topped up, so please consider a donation. Everything will help. After all, the more we have, the sooner we can be get building again and the further we can go.
